Volunteer Opportunity!!

Hey Everyone! Quick non-running post.

As some of you know, I am actively involved with So Others Might Eat (SOME) here in DC and served as chair of their Young Professionals Network (currently being rebranded to NextGen) last year!

We're excited to kick off this year's NextGen programming with our first volunteer event on Saturday March 1st (conveniently, we don't have a long run that day). This volunteer opportunity will be a 3 hour shift serving lunch in SOME's dining room. Space is limited so please register here if you are interested.

If you are interested in getting involved but are not able to attend this time there will be plenty of other volunteer and networking events in the future! See below for additional information about the NextGen group.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you are interested or have any questions!

SOME’s Young Professionals Network is evolving into NextGen in 2025, with a renewed focus on engaging and empowering the next generation of young professionals dedicated to supporting SOME's mission and our neighbors in need. The reimagined initiative will include mini-events throughout the year, designed to foster meaningful networking opportunities with members of SOME’s Leadership, Board and Corporate Advisory Board members.

These mini networking events hosted throughout the year by SOME’s NextGen offer young professionals a unique platform to connect, collaborate, and grow within a community of like-minded individuals committed to making a difference. These intimate gatherings encourage meaningful interactions, fostering relationships that can lead to valuable partnerships and professional growth. Participants will also gain insights into SOME’s mission, expanding their understanding of how they can contribute to addressing critical community needs.
