YLS Kickoff

More than 300 people showed up for a rooftop celebration in honor of the newly launched Young Leaders Society.

  The United Way of the Midlands Young Leaders Society (YLS) is a newly-formed organization for young professionals ages 21-45 in the Midlands community who contribute an annual gift of $1,000 or more through United Way of the Midlands. YLS members are among the "who's who" of emerging decision makers who want to make a lasting, concrete impact on our community.

In order to encourage the growth of YLS, United Way is offering a step-up program for members. You may become a member by pledging at least $250 for the 2007-2008 campaign and promising to step up your gift to $1,000 by the fourth year of membership. For more information on YLS, visit www.uway.org or contact us at yls@uway.org.
