#Work4ROC Volunteering and Board Expo
June 28, 2016 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
How do you #Work4ROC? Do you volunteer in the community? Would you like to increase your involvement or perhaps join a nonprofit board? Rochester Young Professionals, RocCity Coalition, United Way of Greater Rochester, Rochester Area Community Foundation, Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce and Flower City Philanthropy are all partnering to help you #Work4ROC!
The RocCity Coalition recently completed their Vision 2025 project, a survey and focus groups that created a shared vision among Young Professionals for Rochester’s future. Now it’s time to turn that vision into action!
The report identified 6 key focus areas:
Demographics/Diversity
Housing
Lifestyle/Mobility
Education
Employment
Community Connections
Want to have an impact and #Work4ROC? Which of the 6 areas are you most passionate about making an impact in? At this Volunteering and Board Expo, nonprofits in each of these 6 areas will be represented and will be promoting volunteering opportunities as well as board openings for young professionals.
If you are a nonprofit organization that has volunteering and board opportunities for young professionals and would like to be at the Expo, please complete this application by Monday, June 13th.

Can’t wait until June 28th to get involved? Action teams are forming around each of the 6 focus areas and each will meet during the month of June (prior to the Expo) to create goals for moving forward and identify local organizations and initiatives to collaborate with. Each meeting will take place from 5:30-7pm.
