We learn
Our communities of young professionals have diverse expertise across a full range of sectors from finance and policy to IT and research. We facilitate community learning exchanges and connect individuals to partners with relevant expertise.
We grow
By convening the collective expertise of our global community, we can identify gaps in support for young Romanian professionals, not just in Romania but globally. Using this insight, we work with local chapters around the world to develop new projects and initiatives.
We advocate
As a global community we work with local chapters to undertake research on priority themes for Romania and use the learnings to drive change in policy and practice.
Every project we manage, every partnership we have and every policy we advocate for is and will continue to be about serving our community and our country, leading by example and building a trustworthy global team of Romanian professionals.
Discover our history
Founded in 2008 by a group of young Romanian professionals from around the world, GRASP started with the idea of promoting Romania by showing the world a different country than that often stereotyped in the Western media. The idea emerged from the desire to facilitate connections among people who rok on similar challenges but live and work in different locations. So the adventure started…
