Union Station Homeless Services’ new young professionals group, the Young Leaders Society, held its inaugural mixer on Thursday, July 11th at Le Ka Restaurant in downtown Los Angeles. This successful kickoff event, which drew professionals from all over the Greater Los Angeles area, aimed at raising awareness of the group, as well as attracting new members.

The Young Leaders Society (YLS) is a compassionate group of young professionals between the ages of 21-39 who are dedicated to promoting the mission of Union Station Homeless Services.

Future YLS events and volunteer activities include a yoga retreat, Rockin’ For The Homeless Fundraiser, Thanksgiving Dinner-In-The-Park, and Adopt-A-Meal at the Adult Center shelter.

YLS has an annual membership fee of $25 which gives individuals the opportunity to socialize and network with one another, develop leadership skills, and plan fun, unique member events, all while supporting a worthy cause!
