United Way Young Leaders met last Thursday to LIVE UNITED….. or at least launch their grassroots campaign of the same name. On the rooftop of the Kress Building, United Way commenced what could be considered a risk by many—embracing a new direction of their young leaders program, which will now focus on creating a united voice for Young Professionals. Although it rained all day before the event, the sun physically and symbolically came out to shine life on this grassroots movement.
With over 35 Young Professional civic organizations in Birmingham, the YP scene can be hard to navigate, let alone listen to. LIVE UNITED is launching a number of new events as well, including a Live United Book Club, a Coffee Talk series, the LIVE UNITED YouTube challenge, and even a Movie Club. With a united voice, YP’s can take on a number of issues effectively, from politics to policy, sitting on city boards, and exhibiting strength in the workplace.
A united voice is a strong voice. A strong voice is heard. LIVE UNITED.
