Who We Are:

Emerging Leaders is a group of young professionals with a passion for building community partnerships and outreach.

UWBB addresses poverty 365 days a year. We felt it fitting to cultivate a group of emerging leaders with that same level of commitment. Please join us by donating independently or through your workplace campaign.

 

Our Mission:

Emerging Leaders works to connect young professionals with volunteering, networking and fundraising opportunities in the community. We aim to make positive, long lasting change in the Big Bend Region through fundraising and volunteerism.

 

What We Do:

With Emerging Leaders, you’ll have unique opportunities to give back to the Big Bend Region. Emerging Leaders takes a three tiered approach to philanthropy:

  1. Engagement: Build your professional network with other professionals who value community engagement.
  2. Volunteerism: This group allows young professionals to create impact within the community through volunteer projects, such as the semi-annual Day of Doing.
  3. Fundraising: The Emerging Leaders plan, promote and execute community wide fundraisers, which provide a financial impact to the United Way’s overall community campaign.
