One cool thing about living in a major city after you graduate college is that it’s easy to get involved with groups of people with similar interests. This is obviously great for your social life, but it can also help your career. Meeting people who are in the places that you want to be is always good. The Council of Urban Professionals is not only a way to do that–it’s also a way to do good in your community. They are a New York, NY based non-profit that “molds diverse business and civic leaders, and empowers them to exert influence, achieve their individual goals and create collective impact through a range of programs and initiatives.” It started in a living room with 62 young urban professionals (that’s a big living room!), and now the organization has well over 5,000 members.
While the Council of Urban Professionals of may sound like it’s just a networking group, it’s actually much more than that. The organization “empowers aspiring diverse professionals to develop connections, opportunities, and expertise that best position them for top leadership positions” through “a series of forums, leadership development programs, and peer networks.” Here’s a short video about CUP:

Right now CUP is looking for a Development Associate.
