Young Partners
Creating Connections
Honoring our Heritage
Investing in Ireland’s Future
The Young Partners group engages with our emerging generation of supporters by providing young professional networking opportunities and a connection to modern Ireland, while promoting and supporting the mission of the Irish American Partnership. Investing in Ireland’s future for almost 40 years, the Partnership has raised more than $57 million with 100 cents of every dollar going directly to Ireland.
The Young Partners are enthusiastic about furthering the Partnership’s mission while developing their social and professional networks. The Young Partners group welcomes those with Irish heritage and all friends of Ireland, North and South.
Throughout the year, Young Partners chapters in Boston and New York meet for a variety of social and networking events, including talks from industry leaders, formal and informal social gatherings, and early access to Partnership programming. They are an integral part of the Partnership’s overall mission and direct sponsors of the O’Neill School Grants Program.
