The New Jersey SEEDS Young Leadership Committee (YLC) is a group of young adults, including SEEDS alumni, who work to expand awareness of SEEDS and provide opportunities for young professionals to support SEEDS’ mission.

YLC members focus their efforts on three primary goals:

Leadership development – To engage the next generation of leadership for SEEDS.
Relationship building – To foster connections and relationships with SEEDS students and alumni, and to provide networking opportunities for our alumni.
Fundraising – To host an annual social fundraising event to benefit SEEDS. The YLC’s signature event is an annual Casino Night Fundraiser, held in October.

For more information about becoming a part of the YLC or be invited to our next event, please contact Sarah Cassidy (scassidy@njseeds.org or 973.642.6422, ext. 241).

Testimonials

"SEEDS taught me to lead by example. They taught me to never feel ashamed of my economic status. They showed me that I could be just as successful as someone born with the advantages that I was born without. That first step into NJ SEEDS almost seven years ago began my journey of a thousand miles."
