The goal of GIVE (Getting Involved in Volunteer Experiences) is to raise awareness among the next generation of civic leaders about the growing need for volunteerism and to engage them in the community while providing educational learning seminars to help them develop personally and professionally.
If you are looking for personal and professional development, please consider applying to participate in the GIVE Class 2012. Over two years, you will meet like-minded professionals, learn about pertinent issues facing the community and become exposed to civic leadership opportunities with nonprofits.
The 2012 GIVE Class begins in February and extends through December. The core components of the program are monthly learning seminars and workshops, volunteer opportunities and networking events. By participating in the GIVE Program you will be asked to commit an average of six hours per month (refer to attached calendar of events). In addition, each classmate will participate in a group project which will enhance the cohort experience, build leadership among colleagues and peers, and create continued awareness of effective volunteerism and community involvement strategies.

Upon successful completion of the first year, the 2012 GIVE Class will be invited to serve on the GIVE Advisory Board. This second year experience is a blend of leadership development, board & committee experience and continued participation in GIVE programming. The GIVE Advisory Board will be divided into committees that work on marketing, program development, and alumni relations that will ultimately help build and improve the GIVE Program. Your experience serving as a committee member on the GIVE Advisory Board is excellent preparation and training for future board/committee service at another nonprofit organization.
BVU’s mission is to inspire volunteerism and connect motivated people to nonprofit organizations leading to a stronger community. BVU hopes that you will consider participating in the GIVE Program and be a part of building a better Baltimore!
Learning Seminars are designed to educate the participants about different issues among nonprofits as well as leadership components that will excel them both professionally and personally.
The goal of providing a monthly volunteer opportunity is to expose young professionals to the community need for volunteerism and to ultimately assist each classmate in finding a nonprofit to give back to.
The GIVE Class Exclusive Learning Seminars & Volunteer Opportunities are held for the GIVE Class and the GIVE Advisory Board members. Each event highlights a specific nonprofit in Baltimore City, where the GIVE members are able to interact with the executive director and utilize their skills and expertise to help with a current issue.
Each networking event is designed to bring all GIVE members together to mix and mingle. Some of the events may be themed and/or have a goal to raise funds for nonprofits.
