Young Leaders Circle

Young Leaders circle

Serve our community. Inspire change. Be a young leader.

The Young Leaders Circle brings the passion and philanthropic power of young professionals together to transform Rhode Island.

Young Leaders Circle provides robust opportunities to connect community-driven millennials who are eager to lead their peers, fundraise, and advocate to improve lives in our community.

A message from the Young Leaders Circle chair

The Young Leaders Circle is the largest networking group in the state for young professionals.  However, what sets it apart from other professional organizations is the focus on philanthropy and community engagement.   

Through our Learn with Leaders program, we have the chance to engage in small groups with these leaders at such major Rhode Island companies as FM Global, CVS, and Citizens Bank.  Additionally, we have worked side-by-side with local leaders to give back to our community through volunteer work, advocacy projects, and fundraising events.  Our volunteer work and philanthropy seeks to address some of the most challenging issues facing Rhode Islanders, including education and housing and food security.

The United Way, and the Young Leaders Circle specifically, have afforded me so many opportunities both personally and professionally, all within the context of giving back to the community.  My favorite event is the annual Night is Young gala, where hundreds of young professionals join together each year to send students to the Summer Learning Program. 

It is together that we will make Rhode Island a great place to live and work for everyone.  I welcome you to join us.
