What is Student United Way LEAD?
Student United Way LEAD or Leadership, Exploration, and Development is a United Way of Norman youth initiative. The group is open to incoming juniors, and seniors that want to take the initiative of identifying problems and issues that kids, teens, and families face, and address a way to solve them. This will involve fundraising, volunteer work, monthly meetings, and a commitment to the cause.
Activities include Stuff the Bus, an annual Thanksgiving dinner for Norman's foreign exchange students, buying Christmas gifts for children in need, and making welcome baskets for students at Bridges.
