Background:

GroundWork group was founded by a group of passionate energetic volunteers wanting to make a difference in the Columbus Nonprofit world. As GroundWork group matures we want to create a mechanism for continuing to reinvigorate and refresh the volunteer spirit/resources. In particular GroundWork group wants to reach out to young professionals (i.e 18 - 30).
Note: We welcome anyone who want to join the council even if you're not in the 18 - 30 age range. Young can also mean young at heart. smile


Advisory Council Goals:
1. Provide a mechanism for young professionals to make a difference in the nonprofit community
2. Create a "talent" pool for GroundWork group initiatives
3. Create a mechanism to systematically reinvigorate GroundWork group's ideas, networks, passion
4. Identify/teach/cultivate young professionals competent in "social entrepreneurship" to increase the Columbus' fundamental capacity in social entrepreneurship

Why get involved?
- Time effective way to make a difference in local nonprofits
- Ability to learn "social entrepreneurship'
- Meet other like minded individuals in our community
- Pathway to earn leadership (i.e board roles) on nonprofits

Hope to see you soon....
