Teen Boards
Become a student leader to support our families
Joining a Teen Board at one of our Houses is an impactful way for students and young people to become involved in community leadership. Our Teen Boards exist to serve our families, help teens gain leadership and fundraising experience, and allow students to serve as Ronald McDonald House ambassadors in their schools and communities.
The Teen Boards at our Houses in Connecticut and Springfield are made up of local students from many area high schools, and they participate in a variety of activities in support of our families, including car washes, holiday decorating, themed party planning, facility maintenance, fundraisers, crafts, and fields trips.
