Circle of Friends

For nearly three decades, the unwavering generosity of our supporters has empowered Student Leadership Network to transform lives by breaking down barriers to higher education and building a brighter future for all.

To recognize and celebrate the incredible impact of our most dedicated donors, we have created our Circle of Friends. This special community honors those whose steadfast support drives our mission forward, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to realize their dreams.

Circle of Friends membership is offered to our donors who contribute $10,000 or more cumulatively during our fiscal year (July 1 to June 30). As a valued member, you will receive exclusive updates and be recognized in select Student Leadership Network publications. Friends also gain unique opportunities to network with other Circle of Friends members and special invitations to connect more deeply with our mission and the students whose lives you help transform.

To retain your membership, simply renew your support at this level each year to continue driving meaningful change and inspiring the next generation of leaders. Your continued support will enable us to unlock the potential of remarkable young people across the country.

We look forward to welcoming you into our Circle of Friends community. If you have questions about your membership or eligibility, please contact Beth Cohen (Senior Managing Director of Growth, Strategy, and Development) at bcohen@studentleadershipnetwork.org.
