The Young Leaders Club Advisory Council is comprised of highly energized, visible and motivated individuals under 40 who support United Way at a leadership level (minimum $500).
YLC Advisory Council Members:
• Serve as a champion in the community for YLC
• Support cultivation and solicitation activities by attending YLC events
• Endorse YLC in their social circles and workplaces
• Identify and cultivate new members to help reach giving goals
• Provide counsel to United Way professional staff, helping guide the growth and vitality of YLC
• Attend approximately four planning meetings throughout the year
For the 2014 campaign, we have a stretch goal to recruit 50 new members to the Young Leaders Club! We’re asking each Advisory Council member to recruit five new members to help us reach that goal. There are a variety of ways you can help make that happen:
• Host a YLC event as part of your workplace’s United Way campaign, at your social club or in your home. Members of the YLC Advisory Council and United Way professional staff are happy to serve as guest speakers.
• Consider who in your social circles would find this group of interest and invite them to one of our prospecting events.
As a community ambassador, here are some key messages that you can share:
• The Young Leaders Club (YLC) is a group of young people, who want to make a difference in our community by making a generous gift of $500 or more each year or are on the fast track to do so – giving at least $100 the first year, $250 the second and $500 or more each year after.
• These inspiring, influential and proactive young leaders are dedicated to making lasting, positive change through United Way’s Community Fund.
• United Way’s Community Fund is the single largest and most integrated community-based resource to address critical local human service challenges, including helping local people meet their basic needs, giving babies the best start in life, preparing kids for success and supporting seniors and caregivers.
• In addition to helping thousands of people, YLC gives you the opportunity to connect with some of Rochester's finest young people at exclusive YLC events.
• Currently, YLC has over 350 members investing nearly half a million dollars in the Greater Rochester community.
