Young Leaders United

Event Donations

Young Leaders United (YLU) is United Way’s affinity group of young professionals who share in connecting with like-minded people, are committed to serving opportunity youth and leading by implementing impact throughout Southern Arizona.

Young Leaders United is committed to serving opportunity youth in the local community in both impactful and meaningful ways through various fundraisers and partnered events. Our service focus is Opportunity Youth, who are individuals ages 16-24 currently disengaged from school and work due to systemic barriers out of their control. Serving this group means helping them gain access to supportive services such as housing, mental health support, food, toiletries, and workforce training.

With your donation:

Opportunity Youth in Pima County will have better access to service and pathways to help them meet their basic needs, finish school, and enter meaningful and sustainable employment.

Community partners working with Opportunity Youth every day will be able to collaborate better together, provide clearer pathways for the youth they serve, and work to better outcomes to Opportunity Youth in Pima County.

Opportunity Youth will be able to engage in projects and collaboratives with community partners, and give their input on community initiatives serving Opportunity Youth directly.

Programs at United Way of Tucson will be better able to serve the population of Opportunity Youth in Pima County.
