Young Leaders Society

Young Leaders Society is one of Heart of West Michigan United Way's newest programs. Young Leaders Society began as a national effort and is geared toward the "up and coming" generation of community-oriented individuals. Its primary function is to engage and recognize these emerging leaders in the community. Through professional development, educational opportunities, volunteerism, and networking events, Young Leaders Society cultivates its members' relationships and involvement with United Way – all with the hope of creating a positive and lasting impact within the community.
