Young Professional & Nonprofit “Speed-Dating”
Linking New Leaders
Building strong connections between emerging talent and nonprofit organizations is a win-win for everyone. BVU’s Linking New Leaders is a dynamic event bringing the best and the brightest together in a unique “speed-dating” format.
Structured, Efficient Networking
“Linking New Leaders” is all about quick connections. During 5-minute conversations, nonprofits and young professionals will discuss opportunities to connect and work together. Say goodbye to long, drawn-out networking events. Nonprofits discover emerging talent with fresh ideas, energy, and skills, while young professionals explore organizations aligned with their values and passions.
Guaranteed Matching
Every young professional and nonprofit participating in Linking New Leaders will receive a “match.” Forge meaningful relationships in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The event is structured to maximize interactions and open doors to new opportunities – Whether you’re looking for a mentorship, a board position, or a hands-on volunteering opportunity.
Support and Guidance:
BVU offers resources and support for both young professionals and nonprofits to ensure that these newfound connections flourish.
*Please note this event is available to all nonprofits in Northeast Ohio, but is exclusive to employees of BVU’s business members.
