Young Professionals of Wichita reserved all 10 sand volleyball courts at O.J. Watson Park for a fun, all-ages outdoor mingle! Ditch the business casual attire and come ready to play in a friendly game of sand volleyball. No volleyball experience required. This will be a non-competitive event with Action Team Volunteers in attendance to help periodic rotation of teams to help facilitate networking.

Not a volleyball fan? No problem! Spectators are welcome to join us for networking with local young professionals. We will have shade tents for everyone to relax and have a great time networking

Interns will have an exclusive tent with complimentary snacks and soft drinks. In addition, YPW has teamed up with Lolo’s Crepes and BS Sandwich Press food trucks that will be conveniently parked in the lot right by the volleyball area for additional food purchases. So bring your volleyball, lawn chairs, and an appetite for food, fun and networking!

This event is FREE for Intern Return participants, which includes interns at YPW Corporate Investors or those who are registered participants. If you’re not sure whether you are already signed up for the program, please check with your internship coordinator or contact Alejo Cabral at (316) 268-1171.

Visit our 2013 and 2014 Facebook albums to see what’s happened at a similar event previously. Also feel free to bring your own lawn chairs and games if you have them with you this summer.

We look forward to meeting you and introducing you to all that Wichita has to offer.
