JOIN EMERGING LEADERS
The mission of the Young Leaders Society (YLS) is to encourage young leaders in Central New Mexico to directly donate time, resources, and skills to empower and inspire youth in our community as they become the next generation of leaders.
With any donation to the YLS fund, we consider you a member and look forward to your partnership as we inspire young leaders to empower area youth. As a YLS member, you will find opportunities to mentor, volunteer, serve on the YLS Fund Grant Panel Review Process, serve on YLS Council and committees, and build meaningful connections with other like-minded young professionals.
Contact Stephanie Urban for more information.
