Become an Emerging Leader
Sioux Empire United Way’s Emerging Leaders are tomorrow’s community leaders and philanthropists and we’re always welcoming new members. Our growing network of enthusiastic professionals learn, grow, and get their hands dirty in partnership with the Sioux Empire United Way’s large group of supported agencies. We help members better understand the human service needs of our community by providing for children, vulnerable adults, and people in crisis.
In the past, Emerging Leaders has made an incredible impact on our community logging over 250 volunteer hours. These hours were spent at Lunch & Learn and hands-on volunteering. Volunteers gained insight about SEUW funded agencies through a variety of ways such as:
- Reviewing scholarships for the Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation
- Delivering furniture for the Furniture Mission
- Serving meals at St. Francis House
- Assisting at Sharing Christmas with Community Outreach
- And much more!
