GlobalRomania Youth: Students
Rareș Grecu
Founder, Romanian and Moldovan Student Association at NYU
A gathering for Romanian students to meet people who have already walked similar paths and find mentorship, guidance, and new professional opportunities. For Rareș Grecu, one of those connections led to a role at Deep Ocean Partners within two weeks of graduating from NYU.
GlobalRomania NGO: Copăceni Hospital
Together with Hospice Casa Speranței, we mobilised 24 volunteers and communities across the U.S. to support Romania's first children's palliative care hospital in Copăceni, raising over $11,500 through donations, local campaigns, and a benefit concert in Chicago.
All our community members are invited and/or receive perks and discounts within GlobalRomania.
Yes, you may get an invitation from someone.
Every event is marked with a category, so you can tell whether it is a webinar you can request the recording of, an online event, or one held in person. We try to do a mix of all three, because we don't think anything beats real human interaction. We also know how busy life gets, and how often travel plans pull people away.
Events run by our partners, which we're happy to help organise. Partnerships are the cornerstone of any community, and that is the kind of community we want to be.
