Phoenix BBYO: Young Alumni Network

12/01/2015

I'm looking to you, my young alumni, to lead the charge as tomorrow is . Have you found yourself thinking back fondly on your time in BBYO as you.....successfully interviewed for a summer internship?..were put in charge of yet another group project because you seem to be the only one who can get everyone to do the work?..networked with other alumni who got you your first job?..turned to your advisor or an older mentor for advice?..found your way into Greek life?..found yourself using leadership skills at school, at work, or even to navigate tough situations in your personal life?
Examples of how BBYO has given to us are endless. So I'm asking you for two things:
First, and foremost: Please give back. Give what you can - it matters. If you're wondering why I'm reaching out to you instead of just asking older, more established folk, it's because I know you, and you GET IT. Consider that you might give a future Aleph or BBG the chance to become a member, or attend a convention who might not get to. Support our region so quality professionals can provide infrastructure. Contribute so we can take new risks and try new things to reach teens who we might not otherwise. http://givingbbyoday.bbyo.org
And second: Share. Please share this message with your alumni friends, and please share with me (message me) any stories about how BBYO has given to you. I'll post favorites throughout the day tomorrow while I have all the feelings.
And thank you - thank you for making BBYO a priority, because what we do is important.

I love because it provides meaningful experiences for teens. That's why I'm supporting !
