GYP Grow Workshop | Event Details

GYP Grow: Financial Empowerment, presented by Robinson College of Business

Open to all professionals 21+

Civic involvement goes beyond casting a ballot. From understanding how local decisions are made to volunteering, advocating for issues you care about, and getting involved in your community, there are many ways to make an impact.

Join GYP for an interactive evening designed to make civic involvement approachable, engaging, and relevant to professionals at every stage of their careers and lives.

Through an interactive game and guided conversation, attendees will explore:

What’s on the ballot and why local elections and decisions matter
How to better understand local issues, candidates, and the decisions that directly impact your community
What civic involvement looks like beyond Election Day, including volunteering, advocacy, and community engagement
How local government works and where community members can make their voices heard
Practical ways to use your voice, skills, and professional experience to get involved and make an impact

Whether you’re already actively involved in your community, interested in getting started, or simply looking to better understand how you can make a difference, this event is designed to give you approachable ideas, practical resources, and meaningful ways to take action.

The evening begins with networking, food, and time to connect before transitioning into an interactive game that will lead the conversation, spark discussion, and encourage attendees to think about their own role in civic life. The evening will wrap with audience Q&A, closing remarks, and additional networking.
