Why You Should Join Emerging Leaders

 

The Need of the Hour

 

Devang, from UWBA’s Emerging Leaders donor group, delves into the importance of Millennials finding purpose and responsibility to address critical issues like Bay Area homelessness. Initiatives like Emerging Leaders, are empowering young professionals to connect, make a positive impact on their communities, and address key areas of concern like rising costs in San Francisco. Discover how the tech industry can play a vital role in growing and educating the community, ensuring everyone has equitable access to opportunities.

If you’re looking to meet new people, network with like-minded professionals, grow your leadership qualities, or make a personal commitment to giving back to your community, United Way’s Emerging Leaders is for you.

“Emerging Leaders is a network of passionate, young professionals creating lasting impact in their communities. Members connect to their communities and each other through volunteerism, networking events, and advocacy.” – Dustin Cooper
