We have all heard that it is not what you know, but who you know. That means that

http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/local/tulsa-area-united-way-s-emerging-leaders-society-helps-form/article_bc749d5c-42be-5f93-ba69-9f78225d12eb.html
Targeting young professionals in their 20s, 30s and 40sTulsa Area United Way’s Emerging Leaders Society is working to shape the next generation of philanthropists.
However, you have to pay $250 to join. Puh-leeze! People can do volunteer work without having to pay anything!
The story says:“This is an opportunity for young professionals to connect with community leaders they otherwise wouldn’t have access to and to learn from them.”
People, pay attention. You can volunteer without having to pay money to join a “society” to volunteer! You will meet like minded people.
The story states that Megan Weinkauf, a recruiting manager with Acctknowledge, who has been in the Emerging Leaders Society since it started in 2013 said. “I know my generation and younger, we don’t know how to get involved.This is a gateway to learning about philanthropy.”She said being a full-tier member in a mentor in the program has helped her both professionally and personally.“It really opens your eyes to things you never knew existed,” she said.
It is very simple. Figure out where your interest is and volunteer there. It isn’t rocket science!
