This past week, our Young Leaders showed up ready to SERVE.

Our YLS Retreat kicked off with all things strategy, featuring Alex Yu, United Way board member who got his start in YLS, alongside our Advisory Board as we started building what’s next for YOU.

Big ideas, a little competition, and a lot of energy—get ready for what’s coming 👀
