The Junior Foundation Board assembles young leaders that work on mission-critical initiatives that they help to identify.

• Learning the mechanics of managing a nonprofit
• Learning together about grantmaking and grant funding
• Developing personal and professional skills that will prepare them for future board service and careers

Some of the areas they may choose to work in could be:

• Historic preservation
• Grant writing
• Philanthropy
• Civic responsibility

• Grants for teachers and/or students, etc..

Members will have the opportunity to develop:

• Leadership skills
• Volunteer skills (and gain volunteer hours) and fundraising experience
• Planning and organization skills
• Collaboration and teamwork
• Hands-on experience with a 501c3 organization
• Opportunity to learn new skills and enhance professional skills
