Build connections with more than 1,000 young professionals in the Fox Cities and make an impact in your community through dedication to service and philanthropy. Become an Emerging Leader today!

United Way Fox Cities’ Emerging Leaders is a way for young community members to invest in lasting change in the Fox Cities community. For people aged 40 or under, Emerging Leaders support the community by giving an individual or combined gift of $10 per week ($500 or more annually) to United Way Fox Cities.

As a United Way Emerging Leader, your participation begins with your investment, but can lead to so much more. Your membership in Emerging Leaders can include volunteer opportunities, community & networking events, Leadership Series, and participation in Emerging Leaders’ committees. View the Emerging Leader Events tab and sign up to attend. We would love to see you there!
