Anyone can champion a cause. In YLS, you learn from those who have seen the issues and have stepped out to make a difference whether in business or in society. Learn & Act.

Lunch with Leaders

Quarterly luncheons give YLS members a chance to interact with community leaders. The exclusive event is limited to 20 members to ensure an  intimate conversational experience. The hosts discuss their areas of expertise, their journey to the tops of their fields, and what means to be a community leader.

Coming January 2011

YLS Fellowes will get an in-depth look at the issues surrounding financial stability, youth at risk behaviors and school readiness while learning what it means to be a nonprofit organization in Spartnaburg County. Once a month, January through May, Fellowes will gather to learn together and empower one another.

 

 

VOLUNTEER

A great way to make a difference is to give of your time to the nonporfit agencies that are positively impacting lives every day. Roll up your sleeves. Give an hour, give a day, lend your muscle and lend a hand.
