The Junior League of Tallahassee (JLT)Now Accepting Teen Board Applications

 

 

The Junior League of Tallahassee (JLT) is excited to recruit the 5th annual Teen Board, selecting high school junior and senior female leaders in our community to serve a one-year term (September 2017 – May 2018). The JLT Teen Board provides a foundation of volunteerism and offers the opportunity for Teen Board members to gain an understanding of the impact JLT has on the Tallahassee community, while earning needed volunteer hours for college and scholarship applications. Members of the JLT Teen Board will receive training from JLT members and community leaders to help with success through the remainder of high school, college, and beyond. Teen Board members will have opportunities to volunteer at key JLT projects and for projects throughout the community. In addition, the teen participants will have the benefit of interacting with other young women their age from across the community.

2017-2018 Teen Board Applications  are due no later than Friday, April 28, 2017, and should be submitted via email to teenboard@jltallahassee.org.
