You want to make a difference in your community. You live, work and play here – and you want the St. Louis area to be the best it can be.
With United Way of Greater St. Louis, you have the strong partner needed to make a difference on a much larger scale. United Young Leaders brings together professionals 35 years old and younger to work on the most pressing issues in our community through giving, volunteerism and professional development.
Volunteering is a powerful way to connect with your community in a whole new way and make a positive impact in the region. United Young Leaders volunteer projects allow members to help from home and safely in the community.
SEE UPCOMING VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIESEngage with other young leaders shaping our region through networking and other engagement opportunities. We host networking opportunities for members to meet new people, network with peers within and across industries, and get acquainted with the volunteering and philanthropic scene in St. Louis.
