Rooted in the idea of training the next generation of volunteers and philanthropists, the Teen Leadership Council is a partnership between Wonders & Worries and local teens in grades 9-12.
Through participation in the Teen Leadership Council, teens will:
- Develop transferable leadership and business skills while learning how to advocate and raise awareness to support children through a parent’s illness.
- Earn 25 service hours through their participation on the Council, with multiple opportunities to earn even more!
- Learn from Wonders & Worries team members and supporters in their areas of expertise.
- Give back to their community through their time, talent, and resources as they plan and execute a fundraiser benefiting Wonders & Worries.
- Gain lifelong skills in budgeting, marketing, teamwork, and project management.
- Be able to add a unique and eye-catching addition to a college resume!
Meetings will be held on the first Thursday of the month (2nd Thursday of the month in January) from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at 6504 Bridge Point Parkway, Austin, TX 78730.
