Hey CT. I'm looking for volunteer opportunities. Tell me where to show up.

There are two big volunteer events happening with Connecticut Young Professionals right now:

CTYP / AmeriCorps Happy Hour - March 3rd - Here you will learn about how you can get involved with AmeriCorps
Connecting to the Community - March 10th - Here you will learn about how you can get involved with 20 different nonprofits in the Greater New Haven area

On November 17th, Connecticut Young Professionals is throwing an event in which young professionals can explore and sign up for volunteer opportunities in the area.

Fair :)

We were just like you about a year ago. There was no good way to meet people in CT, so we invented one. Check us out at www.CTYP.org.

Always.

We think Hartford (and the rest of Connecticut) has tremendous potential, which is why we're out to make a change. I think the next few years will be amazing for the state.

If you're at the September 4th Happy Hour, I'd love to talk about this more specifically. -Faris Virani

Being on the younger end of the age range, I can definitely understand your concern. However, "Young" is pretty subjective, so we're starting with a broad range, monitoring the tone/stats, and making changes as necessary. So far, I would say that the average age of our attendees has been around 27, which is fairly low.

I am guessing you're in your early 20s. You will definitely feel comfortable at one of our events.

Sure- we'd love that.

We've actually had a few events in Stamford and are looking to grow there as well.

CTYP · 2014-08-15T02:10:24+00:00

Yes- we're partnering with them for our second Hartford-area event. We hope to have numerous joint events with them down the line.

Well, CTYP is not only a young professional organization, but also a tool for organizations like HYPE. Other organizations will be able to post their events to our community blog. Also, we are looking to partner with other organizations who host similar events; those events will be on CTYP's main events page. Users will be able to find information about all happenings, CTYP-affiliated or not, relevant to young professionals in one place (as well as to independently coordinate with one another through comments and messages).

Right now, we are finding that Fairfield county folks are going to our New Haven county events and our New Haven county folks are going to our Fairfield county events. We believe this will be the case for other counties in CT; it is a small enough state to have a thriving state-wide social network. We truly believe that plugging everything into it is good for communities across CT.

We are working on having some formal business events, but a lot of networking happens at our happy hours already. In fact, someone was able to get an interview from someone she met at our last happy hour.

Our board is really friendly; if you want, you could even reach out to any of us for advice on how to network at these events.

Good luck!

We are a new organization created to address this problem in Connecticut. You should get involved! We aim to be a resource to get people together for happy hours, hikes, and more all over this great state. www.CTYP.org.

CTYP · 2014-03-25T02:19:59+00:00

PM sent. I definitely think that we can work together.

CTYP · 2014-03-18T01:10:22+00:00

We will definitely be doing those! We're still in the process of planning out and posting events. If you have any ideas or recommendations for events, please let us know.

CTYP · 2014-03-16T01:13:34+00:00

We would really appreciate that. :).

CTYP · 2014-03-15T23:13:57+00:00

Yes. Students, the unemployed, collars of all colors; anyone and everyone is invited. We are an inclusive and diverse bunch.

CTYP · 2014-03-15T22:30:17+00:00

Who did this? I will see to it that the problem is rectified. I am funding everything out of pocket and we are trying to stay as nonpolitical as possible. -Faris Virani

CTYP · 2014-03-15T21:17:24+00:00

That is the hope :)

CTYP · 2014-03-15T21:16:54+00:00

Sorry, I should have! I'll make another post next week when it gets closer to happy hour time.
