Summary of ASCE YMF Events from 2025-2026
Jan. Monthly Program (1/13/2026)
We welcomed the new year with an inspiring gathering centered on giving back through engineering expertise. After enjoying drinks and delicious food, attendees listened to Sarah—a professional engineer with 26 years of experience—share her meaningful volunteer work at Senegal. Her story highlighted how volunteering broadened her worldview, introduced her to new cultures and design methods, and even helped her learn bits of different languages. She encouraged all engineers, especially those new to the field, to explore volunteer opportunities and discover the deep satisfaction that comes from contributing to community projects.
