Goshen’s Emerging Leaders

We are a group of focused and driven emerging leaders (between the ages of 19-40). We want to establish business connections with other young professionals living in our area. We want to help create a path for the next generation to obtain professional success, through leadership, mentorship, education, and service.

OUR GOALS

Goshen is a town of creativity and culture. Our goal is to make each young professional stand out in his or her local profession.

Create a network of young energetic professionals that care about the community and are willing to donate their time for community projects.

We want to cultivate a network of mentorship between professionals and schools to show them what the Goshen area can offer them.

Our goal is to create an inviting and diverse group of young professionals who make meaningful connections, foster ideas and form lifelong friendships.
