Happy Hour for Nonprofit Staffers and Interns
Did you just get to DC for a job or school? Do you have interns this summer that you'd like to expose to the DC-area network of their peers already in nonprofit fields? Are you a young nonprofit professional who wants to get optimum exposure to DC's progressive and activist side? The Social Action and Leadership School for Activists (SALSA) and the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network of DC (YNPNdc) invite you to a fun-filled evening of networking and information-gathering. Whether you're interested in internships, the nonprofit sector or the activist community, you're sure to learn more and connect at this event.
SALSA offers skills training in fundraising, communications, organizational development, techno-activism and research as well as policy seminars that combine political theory with policy critiques. SALSA is a program of the Institute for Policy Studies.
YNPNdc's mission is to promote the interests of and build opportunities for tomorrow's nonprofit leaders. This is accomplished through: professional development, networking, raising awareness of job opportunities, social events and an online community. Get the chance to meet the YNPNdc network and other members of the nonprofit, social change community during this mixer featuring a brief presentation.
It's happening on Monday, June 6, from 6 to 8 p.m., at Mimi's American Bistro (2120 P St. NW; Dupont Circle Metro), with appetizers and happy hour drink specials. For more information or to RSVP, call 202/234-9382.
