About Emerging Leaders Initiative of Utah
The Emerging Leaders Initiative (ELI) of Utah is a nonpartisan non-profit that aims to engage young professionals (ages 18-35) in their local, state and national governments. In doing so, ELI aims to elevate the voice and impact of younger generations at every level of government, creating a space in our communities for voices between the ages of 18 and 35 years old to participate in policymaking and related processes.
As part of this mission, one of ELI’s primary pillars of civic engagement is Lead by Serving, which aims to increase accessibility and opportunity for young leaders to serve on public sector boards, commissions and committees.

Organizer of 2019 volunteerCONNECT
The Emerging Leaders of Utah Initiative aims to engage young professionals (ages 18-35) in their local, state and national government. The vision of the Emerging Leaders Initiative (ELI) is to elevate the voice and impact of younger generations at every level of government. We will create a space in our communities for voices between the ages of 18 and 35 years old to participate in policymaking and related processes. We will accomplish this by focusing on ELI’s Three Pillars of Civic Engagement: Increasing voter turnout, creating more opportunities for substantive civic participation, and helping emerging leaders run for and win elected positions.
