This Meetup for One City networking program provides opportunities for young people to gain valuable experience in events management, public speaking, working together as a team, attitude management, leadership skills and overall social skills. The interactive format helps young people become acquainted with the dynamics and realities of the “real world” in real time. It has experiential benefits for young people to learn by doing. As we all know it is important to develop skills before entering the work force. This Program allows young people to be involved in a community space that encourages them to connect with and learn from people they wouldn’t normally have access to. Through conversations they are exposed to new ideas and other resources in the community. They will mix with social entrepreneurs, professionals, coaches, community leaders. Some of these contacts may lead to future internships, training opportunities, sponsorship and information about other resources. – Howard Brown
