Junior Board

Lead, inspire, and make a difference

What is the Junior Board?

Reinstated in 2024, the Junior Board’s mission is to promote leadership, community awareness, and philanthropy among 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 various forms that philanthropy can take by participating in meaningful service and fundraising activities. Junior Board 2024-2025 raised over $5,000 for the House. Members will be eligible for 3 different scholarship awards at the completion of their term:

Leadership – $1,000
Visionary – $750
Pacesetter – $500
