A platform to increase online community engagement
We started this initiative to connect people and enhance their sense of social belonging within their community by strengthening their social support systems and networks. Community engagement and social support became increasingly critical during these challenging times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic not only affected those who were infected but also heightened distress and anxiety worldwide. The levels of stress were particularly high in minority communities and among newcomers.
Persian Stories is a weekly online networking event hosted by ProConnect Persian Society, created to connect Persian-speaking professionals, newcomers, and community members through storytelling and meaningful conversations. Each virtual gathering offers a warm and inclusive space where participants share personal experiences, cultural insights, and professional journeys. By fostering dialogue and connection, Persian Stories helps strengthen community bonds, encourage collaboration, and provide valuable support to those navigating life in a new country.
Fostering Friendships and Professional Connections
At ProConnect Club, we bring together Persian professionals seeking meaningful relationships and opportunities for personal and career growth. Through a diverse range of social gatherings and professional events, we create spaces where connections flourish and careers thrive.
