Join us for this happy hour and learn how you can give back to the DC area
DC has many organizations that provide funding, direct education, and enrichment services to DC students — and they are in need of volunteers! Attend this happy hour to learn about ways in which you can give back to the greater Washington, DC area. As with all our happy hours, you'll also have a chance to meet other young education professionals. This event is free and there will be happy hour specials (
