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.
