In Their Own Words

The teen board is a runoff of the big board. As with them, we give our time and talents to other nonprofits to help them grow. As the teen board, we are committed to making our community and our corner of the world a better place. 
We help to teach high school children how to serve on a board and the teen board offers opportunities for leadership and philanthropy. Teens also learn how to connect with other teens formally. There will be many volunteering opportunities and prepare you for college very well.
