Coyote Ugly

In week two of GenNext’s Serving a Cause at rBar, Jason “Shot King” Dickerman and Katie “The Governor” McGovern stepped behind the bar to help raise funds for the United Way. The pair had glasses full and patrons minding their own pints and quarts. At the final bell they managed to raise $140 in tips. The twosome served valinatly, but in the end were not able to vanquish the bartending beast that is Mark and Sisi. Click to learn more

“Thank you” from Catholic Charities

Hello United Way GenNext Volunteers!

I just wanted to express my gratitude again for all of the work you did on Sunday, April 27. We’ve really been working hard this year to provide greater opportunities for our youth groups, and having a lending library will prove to be so useful. Not only will our kids be able to bring home books for fun reading, but they will also have resources to use for homework as well as a means to build reading skills. This is very significant for our youth, especially those who are English Language Learners. Click to learn more

Welcome!

Hello everyone, and welcome to the United Way of Greater St. Louis’ GenNext Web site. More than three years ago, I started this group with a handful of other volunteers, and I am so happy to see how this group has grown.

GenNext started with a simple mission: to engage young professionals in their community. We wanted GenNext members learn how their personal community involvement could make a positive impact on the region. GenNext members would also meet a diverse group of peers and local leaders, including United Way board members. Click to learn more
