Young Professionals

Young Leaders are individual investors age 40 and under who pledge a three year commitment to United Way of Central Florida. They invest $500 the first year, $750 the second year, and $1,000 the third year. Their commitment to furthering United Way's mission of impacting community needs is recognized at the Leadership level the first year of their commitment. By actively participating in annual campaigns, volunteering and community building projects, these Young Leaders are making a lasting, positive impact in our community.

Thank you for helping to make a difference!

Emerge members work on Habitat House

On Saturday, May 17, 20 EMERGE Lakeland members came out to help build a Habitat for Humanity house. This is part of EMERGE Lakeland's ongoing commitment to support volunteer activities and to be engaged in the community. The participants ranged from individuals who had never held a hammer to those who are pretty experienced with a nail gun, but everyone had a great time and an injury-free morning.
