United Way of Greater Nashville (UWGN) announces the 2024 Young Leaders Society Board. The Young Leaders Society (YLS) is a network of passionate young professionals creating lasting impact in their communities. YLS members connect with each other and their community through leadership development, volunteer opportunities, networking experiences and more.

- Send 25 at-risk kids to a safe, educational summer camp
- Provide rental assistance for a single parent struggling to pay bills while they go back to school
- Ensure a youth receives counseling and mentorship to avoid juvenile detention
- Provide training to help someone find a better job so they can support themselves financially
