2024 #YPMixerCLT Recap

We know Young Professionals have so much to offer to local nonprofits with their time, talents and passions!

The #YPMixerCLT began 11 years ago by two young professionals who wanted to expand their networks and find ways to get involved with local nonprofits. The event grew and grew and five years ago SHARE Charlotte took over the production of this annual gathering. 

Every year, we choose a new sector of the nonprofit community to focus on and this year partnered with Charlotte Is Creative to celebrate Charlotte's artists and creatives. As co-hosts, we crafted an extraordinary event to showcase the amazing talents of creative and cultural nonprofits at work in our community.

Our 2024 mixer took place on September 25 at Lenny Boy Brewing. Attendees had a chance to meet nonprofits in these five creative zones:

🧒🏽  Arts Programming for Underserved Youth

🎭  Theater, Literature & Film

🖼️  Museums

💃🏻  Music and Dance

🎨  Visual Arts & Empowering Artists

🌟 Plus, we had  live performances from the following nonprofits:

A huge thanks to U.S. Bank for serving as our presenting sponsor of #YPMixerCLT for the 5th year in a row and to the Equitable Foundation for their support!
