Gatherings

Once a quarter, we host a Gathering—a relaxed, welcoming evening where young professionals share a meal, hear from a compelling speaker, and engage in meaningful conversation.

It’s a thoughtful space to connect with new friends and reconnect with familiar ones.

Gatherings are open to everyone, not just members—so consider this your invitation.

Come as you are, and join us for free.

Mentorship Forum

Mentorship Forums are small, trusted groups that meet monthly for honest conversations about life—career path, money, relationships, faith, and everything in between. Think of it like your own personal board of advisors.

Each group is guided by a seasoned mentor—someone who’s been where you’re headed and is ready to offer insight, encouragement, and hard-earned wisdom.

It’s a unique space to grow with peers and learn from those a few steps ahead.

What Members are saying...

Life-Changing Community and MentorshipThe Mentorship Forum has been an incredibly valuable experience, offering practical advice, personal growth, and meaningful career insights. My mentor’s wisdom has helped me see the bigger picture, especially as I navigate important career decisions with discernment and a Christ-centered perspective.

Gave Me Confidence in Following God's Will For My CareerBeing a part of small groups through church and YoungLife has been amazing, but they lack a focus on the intersection of my faith and career. The Alumnus, particularly the Mentorship Forum, has given me exactly that. Monthly meet-ups with Marc Giannone, alongside a couple friends, gave me confidence that I was following God’s will for my career through wise biblical council.

You are the CEO of your life.Whether you realize it or not, you are the CEO of your life. Alumnus has taught me that to be the best CEO possible, I need a board of directors to help guide me through all areas of life. Alumnus has helped me find mentors, peers and friends that provide wisdom and community.

Supported in my faith, challenged in my workI’ve been involved with many young adult communities and I’m telling you, if you’re a young professional, the mentorship forums alone are worth the investment, but the opportunity to learn and experience life with like minded young professionals makes it a community you simply cannot miss out on joining.
