 Young Professionals Network
Non-Profit Luncheon
The 4th Annual Change Collective 
Tuesday, November 17, 2026 | 11:45 AM – 1:15 PM
Venue: Boca Raton Innovation Campus (BRIC) 
Sponsored by Avodah Wealth Advisors LLC

The Change Collective connects local nonprofit organizations with the next generation of business leaders — young professionals ready to get involved, give back, and make a real impact in our region.

This event brings together Boca Regional Chamber member nonprofits and young professionals eager to learn about the needs of our community and discover meaningful ways to contribute their time, talent, and energy.

How It Works

Selected nonprofit organizations will each host a roundtable in a speed-dating format, spending five minutes with each group of attendees to share:

An overview of the organization and its mission

The people or communities it serves

The impact of its work in our region

Current volunteer and community engagement opportunities

Specific ways young professionals can get involved and make a difference

Interested Nonprofits: How to Participate

Participation is by application, and submission does not guarantee selection. Organizations are evaluated on:

Mission and demonstrated impact in the region

Opportunities available for young professionals to volunteer or get involved

Connection and engagement with the Boca Regional Chamber

The populations, causes, and needs served

Ability to offer meaningful, accessible paths to ongoing involvement

The Change Collective aims to go beyond introductions — the goal is to spark real connections that lead to action. Selected organizations should be ready to clearly outline the next step for young professionals who want to get involved after the event.

Application Deadline: September 30th
Notification Date: October 19th
