Our Testimonials

“I like how the NetWalks bring different nonprofits together. It gives me a chance to meet and network with different organizations in the community. From my standpoint as a Career Services Manager, my role is to find opportunities for students in the Nonprofit Fundraising and Development certificate program at UC San Diego Division of Extended Studies. So it’s a great way for me to connect with employers and organizations who are hiring for students and alumni. I would definitely recommend the Nonprofit NetWalks to others who are thinking about going into the nonprofit profession. You can build really good professional relationships.”

Roxanne Farkas
Career Services Manager, UCSD Extended Studies

“The first thing I think about with Nonprofit NetWalks is the friendly environment. You don’t feel the pressure of networking. You can just show up, and it’s a friendly environment where everybody feels comfortable. You can just walk and talk about anything. I also like the fact that I’ve had the opportunity to meet local organizations that I didn’t know, or who don’t necessarily get as much visibility. The NetWalks give organizations a chance to present themselves.

It’s also a great way to get out and explore your own city. Get away from the computer, get outside, and get some exercise in a friendly environment. No pressure, no commitment. It’s a great opportunity to connect with other nonprofit professionals in a friendly and free outdoor space. Once you go to one event, you can feel it’s a project created by a genuine person who believes in the power of collaboration and educational opportunities for everyone.

The Nonprofit NetWalks are also unique and fun opportunities for our students in the Fundraising and Development certificate program to build connections, find career growth opportunities, and learn from other professionals’ experience, without attending expensive conferences or networking events.”

Chiara Cescon
Program Manager Business Program, UCSD Extended Studies

“Enjoyed a fantastic time at the Nonprofit Netwalk! Gratitude to Goodwill Industries of San Diego County for graciously hosting this event. It was an excellent opportunity to break away from the office and engage with fellow San Diego leaders!”
