Young Professional Network

Empowering young leaders to support Cardinal Cushing Centers

The Young Professional Network at Cardinal Cushing Centers engages young professionals to increase awareness and support for our mission. We invite individuals aged 22 to 40 from various backgrounds to join us in spreading our mission through their workplaces, communities, and daily lives.

Our network provides a platform for emerging nonprofit leaders to connect, support a respected organization, and network with like-minded peers. As a vibrant community of volunteers, we’re committed to making a positive impact and are eager to unite talented individuals who share our passion for change.

The Young Professional network convenes at least 3 times/year for strategic meetings, with additional meetings added as needed to execute on specific projects.

“Joining our network is your chance to be part of something bigger, to make a tangible difference in people’s lives.”
- Laurie Maranian, Director of Development
