INDIGO CONNECT

Indigo Connect is a strategic initiative led by Indigo Group to connect college students and young professionals with local business chambers. Through direct involvement in key community and business events, participants gain hands-on experience, while chambers benefit from trained, bilingual volunteer support, expanded visibility, and deeper engagement with youth leadership. The program especially uplifts international students and first-generation Americans — individuals who often face limited access to professional networks and early career experiences. Indigo Connect bridges this gap, creating pathways into civic, business, and leadership environments in California.

Indigo Connect will officially launch its field operations in October 2025, following a detailed preparation and partnership phase from August through September.
