How to "Connect for a Cause"
Thanks to the generosity of the Comcast Foundation, we have been implementing a number of efforts to increase the civic involvement and engagement of young people in our work.
One of the efforts has led to this upcoming event:
Connect for a Cause
Monday, February 11th
6:00 -- 8:00 p.m.
Varsity Theater, 1308 4th Street SE, Minneapolis
Looking for an opportunity to volunteer in a substantive role with a local organization? Join us for an exciting event by young people for young people in the Twin Cities. Connect for a Cause will bring together area nonprofits looking for volunteers with young leaders searching for the right fit. We'll begin with "speed-matching" -- similar to speed-dating, individuals will move from table to table learning about participating organizations and their volunteer opportunities. The organizations will have just three minutes to impress potential volunteers before finding out if they will be asked on a second "date." The speed-matching will be followed by a more casual social hour. Participants are welcome to attend either or both sessions.
