Bridges Society

United Way of the Capital Region’s Bridges Society connects a diverse group of emerging leaders through giving and volunteering. Great things happen when we LIVE UNITED!

Community Leadership

• Bridges Breakfasts: Meet prominent executives from the Capital Region and hear their insights on leadership. 
• Bridges Society and Tocqueville Society Joint Event: Network with members of our Tocqueville Society, United Way’s premier leadership giving group.

Volunteering

• Exclusive Volunteer Opportunities: Volunteer with other members on projects that make a difference in the areas of health, education, income and basic needs.

In 2016, members read with students from Downey Elementary School during our Barnes & Noble field trips. Members also volunteered alongside hundreds of local high school students for Youth Day of Caring.
