Members of the United Way Young Leaders Society are young professionals ages 21 to 45 who contribute $1,000 or more annually to Tarrant County United Way. The YLS mission is to inspire philanthropy and volunteerism by actively engaging the next generation of decision-makers in a unique blend of service, education, social and networking activities throughout the year.
Through the "Fast Track" plan, members who make a three-year commitment to donate $500 the first year, $750 the second year and $1,000 the third year can still enjoy all YLS membership benefits immediately.

Brunch and jazz made for a memorable Sunday September 21 as members of the Young Leaders Society sipped mimosas and mingled at Reata in downtown Fort Worth. The occasion for 45-and-under leadership givers promises to become an annual signature event of the Young Leaders Society.
