If you’re 13–17 and want to make a difference, build confidence, and stand out on college applications, this is the place to start.

The Junior Advisory Board gives students the chance to influence real projects, take on leadership roles. Led currently by students from Ardrey Kell High School, five area schools – and growing – are represented in this service organization. It’s more than volunteering — it’s a chance to shape community impact while building skills that matter. 

Our community service club is evolving into a Junior Advisory Board, and we are seeking passionate, driven youth leaders to help shape the future of our initiatives.

This is more than volunteering. It is an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in leadership, project management, and community engagement while contributing to impactful service efforts in our local area.

Time Commitment

• A minimum requirement of 10 service hours per year 
• Being an officer may require additional time, around 1 hour per week

• Gain hands-on experience in marketing, data analysis, and community outreach

• Collaborate with like-minded peers who are committed to making a difference

Who Should Apply

• High school students who are reliable, proactive, and eager to contribute
