Get Involved: Leadership Council

Your Expertise and Guidance Matters

Being part of the Leadership Council is the most significant way to be involved with EMpower. Our Leadership Council is comprised of committed and strategic supporters who understand the value of longer-term financial funding that enables growth and innovation. They make a meaningful and powerful commitment to EMpower’s ongoing work by supporting our vision and mission. The Leadership Council, as well as many Board Directors, cover all of EMpower's management, general and fundraising costs, enabling 100% of other donations to directly impact young lives.
