Introducing the HYPE Network: Empowering Hungarian Professionals in the U.S.
The Hungarian Young Professional Engagement (HYPE) Network is an exciting new initiative by the Hungarian American Coalition, aimed at fostering leadership and professional growth among young Hungarian professionals living in the United States. As part of a broader commitment to community building and leadership development, the HYPE Network offers a dynamic and structured six-month program, complementing existing scholarships and training opportunities such as the John N. Lauer Leadership Training Program and various scholarship funds.
What is the HYPE Network?
The HYPE Network is designed to deepen the engagement of Hungarian professionals through sustained leadership development and professional integration within the Hungarian community across the U.S. While the Coalition’s existing programs like the John N. Lauer Leadership Training Program provide young Hungarians with valuable professional experience, the HYPE Network extends this support by offering continuous professional development, networking opportunities, and active participation in community leadership.
