Young Men on the Move is a 10-month program geared towards mentoring young professional men. Five executive men will mentor 20 young professional men (23-30 years old) during a monthly luncheon focused on key topics to develop them personally and professionally.

At each monthly session, participants will get the opportunity to hear from a skilled industry professional from the Greater Augusta Region. Lunch will be provided. Some example topics are:

• Personality and behavioral assessment
• Workplace dynamics
• Time management tips
• Networking
• Tough conversations in the workplace
• Financial planning
• Setting Goals
• Community Service

Participants are selected through an application process and only one representative per company is selected for each class.

"The best part about the YMOM program are the relationships you build with your fellow attendees and mentors. Moving through different stages of life with guys who have been there, done that has been very impactful in my own personal and professional life. I would strongly recommend this program to any young professional looking to develop and grow here in Columbia County." - Garrison Boling, Cadence Bank, YMOM 2025
