The goal of United Way's Young Leaders Society (YLS) is to promote and encourage philanthropy and volunteerism among the young leaders of Santa Barbara County. Individuals or couples 45 years of age or younger, contributing a combined annual gift of $300 or more to United Way of Santa Barbara County, may join Young Leaders Society.
WHY JOIN?
Young Leaders Society provides community involvement and personal development opportunities to its members. The group offers multiple avenues to become involved with United Way initiatives, to directly make a difference in people’s lives, and to ultimately become leaders in our community.
BENEFITS
Members enjoy many exclusive opportunities throughout the year, including volunteer projects, networking and business opportunities, and other fun events. YLS programs give members the opportunity to meet other like-minded civic and business leaders and become acquainted with Santa Barbara’s philanthropists.
WHAT'S REQUIRED?
