United Way Emerging Leaders 365

Emerging Leaders 365 is a group of dedicated young professionals who are interested in getting involved in their community through United Way. We get together to give back and do good - and meet other young professionals in the process! We're passionate about the United Way mission and always engage with this goal in mind:

We're working to build a community where people have homes, students graduate, and families are financially stable.

Sound like a community you want to be a part of and say you had a role in building? We thought so.

We focus on three main things here at Emerging Leaders 365: Volunteering, Networking, and Connecting with Community & Business Leaders.

Volunteering

With a full menu of volunteer projects each month, there's sure to be a time you can join us out in the community! We partner with a ton of great agencies around King County that do everything from throw birthday parties for kids in need to create and maintain a welcoming home environment for those currently experiencing homelessness. There's something for everyone - and if you don't see what you're looking for, just let us know!

Networking

It's a big city out there, but sometimes it's hard to meet people whose email addresses don't end with the same company name as yours - and who doesn't love the chance to rub shoulders with some of Seattle's most influential people, like Angela Stowell and the Nordstroms? We offer great events throughout the year where you can do just that while sipping on a glass of - complimentary! - wine and munching on delicious hors d'oeuvres.

Connecting with Community & Business Leaders

If you're looking to get to know some of those influential folks mentioned above but aren't sure a large networking event is your thing, we have smaller events that are tailor-made for you! Our Speaker Series bring an intimate group of Emerging Leaders 365 (think 35-50 of us) together to hear from and chat with major United Way supporters and community influencers. Keep thinking Angela Stowell and the Nordstroms, and add more like Dan Brettler and Dr. Ben Danielson.
