Give Back & Get Connected | Sauk Valley Under 40

Join us for this episode of Along the Rock as host Emma Watts sits down with Ethan Harrington, Gracie Young, and Dallas Knack from Sauk Valley Under 40 to talk about building connections, growing professionally, and giving back to the community.

Sauk Valley Under 40 is creating opportunities for young professionals across the region to network, develop skills, and get involved locally. One of their upcoming events, Give Back & Get Connected, brings together community members for a hands-on morning of networking and riverfront cleanup in Sterling.

This Earth Day-inspired event is more than just picking up litter. It is a chance to meet new people, learn about the exciting riverfront development, and take an active role in shaping the future of the Sauk Valley.
