A Speed Networking Event to Learn about Volunteer Opportunities
Ripple Impact NW and the Greater Vancouver Chamber have partnered to bring together two vital components in our community: nonprofits and volunteers!

How It Works:
This “speed networking” style event will allow attendees to travel the room and spend a few minutes with 10 different nonprofits. During an allotted time, nonprofits will have the opportunity to tell you about their mission, and the volunteer opportunities their organization offers.
This is a fantastic way to get to know the incredible nonprofit organizations in SW Washington, and learn about new unique ways you can support them!
