Emerging Leaders is a diverse, welcoming group of young to mid-career professionals united in building a stronger community.
By investing in the Lehigh Valley, Emerging Leaders elevate their relationships, neighbors and network through:
- Unique volunteer projects with United Way partners
- Quarterly events with like-minded young professionals and leadership opportunities where you can advance your skills
- Impact Experiences at area nonprofits highlighting their contributions at work
Emerging Leaders membership starts at less than $10/week ($500 annually), which can be paid through a credit card pledge or payroll deduction, where applicable. For more information, please contact us at EmergingLeaders@unitedwayglv.org.
