Happy Earth Day!🌎

Our COMPASS Young Professionals were excited to soak up some sun and Spring Into Service today! ☀😎

We rolled up our sleeves and cleaned up the city park before sharing some laughs over ice cream at Hub 41. Our Spring Into Service Earth Day cleanup was the perfect mix of purpose and fun!

Thank you to everyone who was able to join us today. Special thank you to City of Detroit Lakes Parks & Rec for supplying us with vests and materials and thank you to Hub 41 for the delicious ice cream! If you haven’t checked out their new ice cream setup yet, today is the perfect day to stop by!🍦

🍀 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

Last week, our Compass Young Professionals Network brought the energy to Shamrock Showdown at Bucks Mill Brewing! Two teams faced off in a series of Minute-to-Win-It style challenges - bringing the laughs, the friendly competition, and some impressive game skills.

The prize? Delicious personal pizzas generously donated by Zorbaz on the Lake🍕 (worth the battle, if you ask us).

At COMPASS, we’re all about balance.⚖️ We offer a low-commitment, high-impact way for young professionals to plug in. Whether you’re coming for the fun, the networking, or the opportunity to grow, our events are designed to fit into your life while still delivering real value. Each month, we cycle through our core pillars of connection, leadership, and community, so every event is a chance to build relationships, grow as a leader, and make a meaningful impact.

Thanks to everyone who came out, cheered on their team, and made it such a fun night. Follow Compass Young Professionals Network to see our upcoming events and join the fun!
