Get Involved!

Some exciting things happened last weekend. One of our staff members, Shelley, worked with GenNext.

What's GenNext? Well, GenNext is for young community-minded volunteers interested in making a real difference in central Ohio, United Way’s GenNext provides a way to be more deeply involved in creating long lasting change in our community. A growing group of more than 400 members, GenNext is a vibrant, talented group of young adults in their 20s and 30s who are interested in serving central Ohio through volunteerism.

Mission: GenNext will further motivate the next generation of central Ohio professionals to strengthen the community by creating an environment where community-minded individuals can participate in service projects and educational opportunities while connecting with their peers. The next generation of leaders will become involved in strengthening a community in which everyone has the aspirations, resources, and opportunities to reach their fullest potential.

This past Saturday these dedicated individuals donated their time to help renovate an elderly woman's house. The team participated in many volunteer activities that included replacing light bulbs with energy efficent ones, caulking windows and doors, and landscaping.
