Young Leaders Society Of El Paso

Why Is The United Way Forming The Young Leaders Society?

To grow our existing relationships with local companies. To engage the younger generation not only in monetary donations, but to be active community leaders. To assist our member agencies and other non profits in fulfilling their idividual missions through volunteering, serving on boards, and a deeper understanding of local issues and needs.
