The Young Leaders Society Mission
Our mission is to foster participation, commitment, growth and education of Triangle United Way's Young Leaders in order to further United Way's vision that, "All Who Need Help Find It."
The Young Leaders Society is a newly formed initiative within the United Way of the Greater Triangle that seeks to engage and develop the young professional. This initiative enables professionals under 40 to stay connected to and make positive contributions to their community.
Through their leadership giving, and by actively participating in volunteer, personal and professional growth opportunities, Young Leaders are helping United Way make a lasting, positive impact in people's lives throughout the Triangle.
