I want to join a group in the area. These are some that I’m giving consideration to:
Young Professionals
of Akron (YPA) – a non-profit organization dedicated to providing young
professionals in the greater Akron community the opportunity to enrich their
careers through social, philanthropic, and educational activities.
Art Cetera – a
project of the Akron Area Arts Alliance established to provide networking and
social opportunities for young professionals and to support the arts and culture
organizations in the Greater Akron Region.
Akron Jaycees –
a young professionals’ membership organization open to men and women from the
ages of 21-39. Akron Jaycees provides leadership training to members, as well as
opportunities to contribute to the betterment of the community.
Junior League of Akron – a
non-profit organization providing opportunities for women to gain valuable
volunteer expertise and professional skills, while working on community
projects.
Torchbearers – an organzation established to identify, cultivate,
motivate, and empower the young leaders of Greater Akron through a diverse

The Coming Together Project
– Coming Together is devoted to helping its members promote diversity. Sometimes that means exchanging ideas and resources through community workshops. On other occasions, it means assisting member organizations in planning and presenting educational forums, as well as musical and theater events that teach us to appreciate the culture of others.
