Emerging Leaders

United Way Emerging Leaders is the next generation of professionals who want to make a difference in our community. Through deeper involvement, members gain insight and take action to improve the quality of life today and build the foundation for the work of tomorrow.

Our members enjoy exclusive opportunities to network with business leaders, volunteer for projects, and improve the community we serve. More than 450 members enrich their lives and the lives of others through Connect, Serve and Lead opportunities.

Our Vision: United Way Emerging Leaders of Marathon County seeks to spark and sustain young professionals to improve the community and themselves through Connect, Serve and Lead opportunities.


CONNECT

Emerging Leaders offers many opportunities to network with other members, community leaders, and key business leaders. As a member, you will receive invitations to Back Stage Pass events and our signature Connect events – the annual Pop Up Dinner and Jingle & Mingle.


SERVE

Through volunteer projects, members learn about local needs and do the hands-on work to make an impact. Teams of members do the research, plan the project and roll up their sleeves to get it done. Projects include serving community meals, maintaining Born Learning Trails, raking lawns annually for elderly and disabled residents, reading/literacy activities in local kindergarten classrooms, and our signature projects – Smack Hunger and Career Closet.


LEAD

There are many ways to increase your leadership skills as a member of Emerging Leaders. You can join a committee, chair a service project, or attend professional development events throughout the year. Off the Records offer an opportunity to meet with local leaders in a small group setting. Our signature leadership event is Ignite the Leader Within, held annually in the Fall.
