Pioneer Valley Alumni Club Event: Make a Difference! Careers in Non-Profits

Imagine waking up every day knowing that you are doing something good for your community.

Well, that is exactly what panelists David Butler '89, founder and CEO of the Safe Haven Project; Frances DelPadre '74, supervisor of volunteer services for Baystate Medical Center; and Mark McCurdy '98, president of Jobs in Non-Profits do!

Join us to network with other UMass Amherst alumni and hear what it's really like to work in the non-profit sector. Panelists will discuss how to start a non-profit from the ground up, change careers from the for-profit to the non-profit sector, and volunteer for a non-profit. Learn how you can work for an organization with a mission you support and make a difference.

Schedule:

6:00-7:00 p.m.: Hors d'oeuvres and cash bar
7:00-8:00 p.m.: Panelists
