Members and friends of Young Leaders Society (YLS) have opportunities throughout the year to volunteer in our community! Through United Way, YLS participates in key volunteer efforts such as United We Read, "Lunch Bunch" at United Way's Fun in the Sun program, and United Way's annual Day of Caring. By volunteering, YLS members give their time and energy to enhance United Way programs, support United Way partners, and serve the volunteer needs of organizations across our county.
