Wolf Trap Young Professional Society

Our Mission

The Wolf Trap Young Professional Society brings together emerging leaders, primarily aged 21-39, from all industries. Members take an active role in enhancing the greater Washington metropolitan area’s cultural scene while fostering their knowledge of, and involvement with, the performing arts. WTYPS seeks to create an environment where young professionals can volunteer, network, socialize, host special events, and work towards the common effort of supporting the Wolf Trap Foundation and its multifaceted array of artistic, education, and outreach programming. Events are held at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, the Center for Education at Wolf Trap, The Barns at Wolf Trap, and at a variety of other locations throughout the greater Washington metropolitan region.
