Social Venture Partners Dallas announced it is accepting applications for its Dana Juett Residency, which helps young professionals become philanthropic leaders. Applications close August 3. Residents must be under the age of 30 when the program begins (Sept. 7).

Residents can expect to:
- Grow in character and vision

- Gain rewarding first-hand experience in nonprofit consulting
- Learn directly from both for-profit and philanthropic leaders
- Meet talented and generous professionals of all backgrounds
