The Civic Engagement Task Force promotes civic participation among 40 Belowers in several ways. We offer programming on topics of interest to our members, both to educate on timely issues and to spark action. We foster discussions among our members and build connections with a wide range of organizations in Central Upstate New York. And our board initiative connects volunteers with nonprofit boards, government committees, and community groups.

Discussion & Connection
We've fostered informal discussions on tax policy for our area, volunteered as a group at WCNY's on-air auction, and built connections with other Upstate young-professional organizations. We've spoken at Leadership Greater Syracuse, Syracuse University Young Professional Affinity Group, and area high school alumni events in recent months.
Board Initiative
We seek to connect motivated young professionals with community needs, matching qualified volunteers with organizations in need of their services. Want to get involved? Know of an organization which might benefit from a young professional's service?
