Celebrate spooky season with fellow Boise Young Professionals. Sign-up to volunteer at October’s b|involved event - Sweet and Spooky Locktober Event with The Idaho State Historical Society! Whether you’re a member or just wanting to have fun and learn more about BYP, all are welcome!

Sweet ‘N Spooky night features trick or treat stations around the site where visitors can add to goodie bags, and add to their knowledge of the Old Idaho Penitentiary. Experience their newest exhibits and take some new stories home with you! Attendees will be provided with a bag for goodies.

Volunteers are needed on October 29th from 6:30 PM to 9 PM. Volunteers can choose to show up in family friendly costumes and run “Cell Treat Stations” or be “Site Patrol” if they’d prefer not to dress up. Once registered, the BYP event lead will send out an email to all registered to provide an opportunity to meet members prior to the event and to connect volunteers with the Idaho State Historical Society event manager to have additional questions answered.

Cell Treat Stations: Dress up in a family friendly costume, prison stripes and guards are encouraged but not required, and distribute candy to visitors. We will provide you with gloves and masks required. (up to 25)

Site Patrol: Walk a particular section of the site to ensure our site rules are being followed. This will require you to learn where restrooms and activities are located (provided in advance). Additionally, you may have to remind visitors about important rules regarding social distancing, mask-wearing, no running/climbing, etc. (up to 10)

Looking to get a promotion, expand your network, or just build or expand your personal brand? Learn from fellow BYP members how you can sell yourself on a daily basis to get further in your career and in life.

The goal of this b-schooled is to help people learn techniques they can use to sell themselves on a daily basis in order to help them reach personal and professional goals quicker. Half of the time will be Adrian Rodriguez teaching some of those techniques and skills, and the other half will be smaller break-out groups, where participants will work with their small group to create goals and an action plan that will help them take action on what they have learned.

This event will be conducted using Zoom. A Zoom link will be sent to registrants on October 27th. 

Why we exist: To provide opportunities for young professionals to be a part of a fun, welcoming group of peers while benefiting their community by participating in volunteer opportunities and being civically educated and engaged.

What we do: Our work team partners and plans volunteer opportunities for our members through monthly b|involved events. We engage our members civically by offering a quarterly round table event with the Mayor of Boise, b|voting and b|on Board series.

Things we are passionate about:
