🌧The rain held off and we had a great time connecting NNGO students, interns, and staff with nonprofit partners this week at the Nonprofit Networking event! This is such a good opportunity for students to practice their social networking skills and to meet nonprofit professionals in a low-stress environment. Thanks to our partners at DeKalb County Nonprofit Partnership for co-hosting the event with us!
