Lead, inspire, and make a difference
JOIN OUR JUNIOR BOARD
What is the Junior Board?
To promote leadership, community awareness, and philanthropy in our local youth, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Charleston formed the Junior Board in 2007. The Junior Board is a group of Junior and Senior High School students committed to creating meaningful avenues of support for families staying at RMHC Charleston. Students learn firsthand the different shapes that philanthropy can take by participating in meaningful service and fundraising activities. Members will be eligible for 3 different scholarship awards at the completion of their term:
- Leadership – $1,000
- Visionary – $750
- Pacesetter – $500
