Serve

Each YP can help in a small way! Here are some opportunities to help the YPs without a large time commitment:

 

  • YP Alumni Group: Currently seeking those who have alumni connections to their schools and willing to represent the TCYPs in their clubs. Please e-mail [email protected] or Courtney at  [email protected] with your name and school alumni affiliation.
  • YP Connect: Give back to other YPs. Help point a prospective YP to a connection or provide industry insight to someone moving into the area. Minimal time required, but a huge help to those looking for that one connection to make a difference. Contact Nick at [email protected] to help.
  • YP Blog Writers: Have a (short) story you would like to share as a YP? Contact Mo at [email protected] to sign-up for an entry slot.

Grow
Take your career to the next level and gain additional experience as a Young Professional!

Michigan Economic Developers Association's Young Professionals group (MEDAYP) is seeking a dedicated group of Mentees for its Get Hired for a Day Pilot Program. The program will be designed to allow Mentors to select or "hire" a young professional for a day, with the pairing based on shared interests.

Through the program, young professionals engaged in economic development will have the opportunity to spend time with a Mentor, networking and learning about the job market and economic development in Michigan. This volunteer program is intended to be mutually beneficial and foster long-term relationships.

 

Mentees must be a member of the MEDA. If currently not a member and interested in participating, join here.

 

Available jobs are posted and applications accepted through the end of March. Click here for more information and to apply.
