Speed Networking for Volunteers

Looking to make a difference? The Nonprofit Network can bring you together with some great nonprofits for an introductory conversation.

 

The setting is fun & social. Structured like ‘speed dating’, you will meet several different organizations for one-to-one conversations. This is a chance to learn about a variety of work being done by community organizations, and gain insight into how to make a difference as a volunteer, perhaps on a nonprofit board or committee. You will leave with: • Connections to the leadership of local nonprofit organizations, and • Ways to match your interests with an organization(s).

 

We are seeking participants from many avenues of the community. We look forward to seeing you there!
