Success Stories

Nina Maystrovich

"Now that I've been working in my field for the past 1-1/2 years, I am still an active member of the Upwardly Global network. I participate in the workshops as a trainer and I do the bookkeeping for the organization. I like contributing to the knowledge of the organization and helping jobseekers meet their goals. The Upwardly Global network also fosters my own professional development. Each workshop and each networking event brings something new about the American work place and culture in general. To others considering volunteering with Upwardly Global I say, "Share. Share your knowledge, share your culture."
