WE ARE BYP
The Black Young Professional Network. We empower black professionals around the world to connect with each other and global corporations.
After the 2016 Black Lives Matter protests, the BYP network was founded to harness the power of the black community. With a network of 50,000 members and a focus on working with existing black networks and businesses, we are here to change the black narrative.
We do so by matching the best career opportunities to black professionals, improving black role model visibility and working with corporations to reduce bias in their hiring process
