The Art of Intentional Giving
By Whitney Sanger
HACAP and YP Co-Director of Academic Outreach
Young professionals tend to get a bad rap, lazy, self-centered, apathetic, all about me me me, and the list of adjectives goes on and on (thanks, society). But, honestly, when looking at the young professionals in our community, there are individuals cultivating a brighter world by leading the charge to change and a new way of giving, intentional giving.
You may be wondering what intentional giving is? How do we do it, and where do we start? Dive in by reading Whitney’s blog about The Art of Intentional Giving.

Why do you YP?
“I enjoy being a member of YP for the networking opportunities. As someone who works remotely, going to YP events and being involved with the group gives me an opportunity to get out of the house and be around other young professionals in a casual and positive environment. I was recently a mentor in the YP Next Up mentoring program and enjoyed being able to connect with other YP members and also the mentees from UD.”
