Generation Next Cabinet

Young adults represent the future of our communities and potentially the most powerful and effective volunteers who can serve our communities in varied, helpful and fulfilling ways. Renfrew County United Way (RCUW) is committed to partnering with young adults to address key social issues in our communities. By engaging young adults, and through them our youth, we can create positive, measurable and lasting change.

RCUW has created a Generation Next (GenNext) Cabinet to provide a forum and structure within which young adults can develop creative and innovative ideas for youth leadership and engagement. If you are interested in creating a legacy of spirited giving and volunteerism that will help sustain the future of our communities, we want to talk to you.
