About FYP ATX — Filipino Young Professionals of Austin — Honoring Our Heritage, Building Our Community
Founded in 2017, FYP ATX connects, empowers, and celebrates the Filipino-American community across Central Texas through career programs, cultural events, and youth mentorship.
The Filipino Young Professionals of Austin, Texas (FYP-ATX) was founded in the spring of 2017 as a social networking group and has since evolved into a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We are committed to celebrating and strengthening Filipino identity through five foundational pillars: arts and culture, community service, networking, professional development, and youth mentorship. As the Central Texas region rapidly grows and diversifies, FYP-ATX continually adapts to meet our changing landscape, responding directly to our community's needs for creative expression, intentional cultural connection, and deep professional and personal growth.

Our Vision
Through our targeted programming, specifically our arts and culture initiatives, we strive to design inclusive spaces that honor heritage, amplify underrepresented voices, and showcase the vibrant creativity of Filipino Americans and allies within Austin's dynamic cultural landscape.
