Becoming a Young Philanthropist

What does it mean to be a philanthropist, and how can you make an impact in your community? Join AREA YP for lunch and a panel discussion with local philanthropists as they share why they give back, the organizations and causes they’re passionate about, and how they’ve found ways to get involved in the Ames region.
Hear from Emma Cassabaum, Craig Welter, and Nick Johnson as they share their experiences, perspectives, and advice for young professionals looking to make a difference. If you are interested in volunteering, supporting local causes, or finding a way to give back that aligns with your passions, this is a great opportunity to learn how to get started.
We’ll also introduce Get on Board, a new AREA YP initiative designed to help connect members with local board and committee opportunities. Learn how you can use your skills, interests, and experiences to get involved, build connections, and help shape the future of our community.
