uLead

Building on The Luv u Project’s mission, uLead engages young professionals in conversation about mental health to break down the stigma surrounding it. uLead members attend events, meet virtually, write and advocate on all aspects of mental health to raise awareness of this important social issue. Membership to uLead is free and for young professionals ages 25 – 45 from across the country, who care deeply about breaking the stigma surrounding mental health.

uLead hosts an annual fundraiser to supports its work as well as the mission of The Luv u Project. The

fundraiser is also an occasion when uLead recognizes a standout mental health advocate and awards them uLeader: Young Professional of the Year.

uLead is supported by a chairperson and advisory council, individuals who are dedicated to raising awareness about mental health and who have the professional network to build membership and promote the uLead mission among a larger audience. Past uLead chairs have been successful young professionals from organizations like Capital One, Booz Allen Hamilton, and government contracting businesses.
