Young Leaders Society will host our Meet the Advisory Board Event from 5:30pm to 6:30pm using the wonder app. Members can join us virtually to ask questions, get to know the team behind YLS’s advisory board, and participate in a fun scavenger hunt activity.  Plus, connect with new and other members throughout the evening.

This event is a great opportunity to get together with your fellow YLS members and connect with new people. 

And join us on Instagram in the days leading up to the event to meet some of our members, who will be taking over the YLS Instagram page (@uwylselpaso) to share a day in the life of the advisory board and answer

In response to COVID-19, YLS and sister donor network, RISE, joined forces to host donation. To mitigate the spread of COVID-19, members supported nonprofit emergency shelters by collecting activities and in-home educational supplies to keep the minds of participants sharp. Items included puzzles, books, board games and more.
