GenNext™ is a program that encourages people in their twenties and thirties to become involved with United Way Sudbury through giving and volunteering.

Working with a Cabinet of volunteers, GenNext creates opportunities for people to support United Way Sudbury, its member and partner agencies, and to get involved in the community.

The GenNext Cabinet organizes fundraising events, promotes volunteer activities, encourages people to contribute to our city, and provides a forum for people to connect.

Meet the Cabinet!

	Miranda Rocca-Circelli Chair I am a young entrepreneur, wife and mother. I have acquired a Master’s Degree in Distance Education, a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Bio-Medicine. I hope to work with the members of GenNext to bring awareness and change to the young demographics within our community by creating opportunities that will engage younger generations to participate at board levels within the community.		D'Arcy Gauthier Vice-Chair I am a recent graduate from the Science politique program at Laurentian University. I originally volunteered with United Way's Young Leaders on Board program because I was just looking for something meaningful to fill in my free time. After completing the program, I realized that I actually loved contributing to my community without any financial rewards: knowing that I am providing a service to my community is rewarding enough. I look forward to all that we are going to accomplish with GenNext.
	Alysia Chayka Cabinet Member I have been an employee at the Canada Revenue Agency since 2006. I have also worked as a sponsored employee at the United Way in 2005, and again in 2011. My aspirations with the GenNext Program is to help build a stronger Greater Sudbury by increasing awareness in the vital role United Way plays within our community, and increase awareness in the social programs that it funds and supports.		Ashley Tremblay Cabinet Member I am an Executive Recruiter at Levert Executive Worldwide Inc. I graduated from the University of Guelph with distinction in Sciences.  My main focus was on Animal Biology and Neuroscience.  I also took some courses in Forensic Sciences. Through GenNext, I hope to fulfill the needs of helping others and becoming involved with the community

Justin Jim Cabinet Member I am a Mining Engineer-In-Training at Garson Mine, Vale. I have a Diploma in Engeneering from St. Francis Xavier Univeristy and a B. Eng. from Dalhousie University.

	Ranji Singh Cabinet Member I am a biochemical and chemical researcher and an educational consultant, holding a Master’s degree in Biochemistry from Laurentian University. I am excited to give back to this community in some way, and volunteering with the GenNext program seems to be the most engaging and interesting way to go about it. We are tackling some very interesting projects, and the atmosphere of idea-generation is electric.

I have an Honours degree in Sociology and a Labour Studies certificate from Laurentian University. I have always possessed a keen interest in people, cultures, and society.
