Junior Board

As a youth-serving organization we felt the need to have a team of young volunteers helping us in as many ways as possible, bringing a fresh perspective, reinforcing our mission and values, tapping into new networks, and providing a voice on behalf of the population being served by our organization. Anyone between 14 and 21 years of age who has already volunteered for us 100+ hours can apply.
