ADVISORY bOARD MEMBERS & SPONSORS

School Advisors & Interns

Ex Officio Members
 As a non-profit organization, all Advisory Board Members are volunteers from the community. New members are elected to the Advisory Board by current members, and are asked to serve for three years; members are typically inducted in May. Many Advisory Board members elect to remain longer than the minimum tenure, due to the positive impact of the program. Advisory Board member responsibilities include; planning Challenge Days, implementing agenda, mentoring the students, and limited fundraising. Parents of students are encouraged to participate on Challenge Day committees, alongside Advisory Board members, to get a better understanding of the program and the benefits to their student.
