Junior Board 2026 Application

About Riley’s Way:

Riley’s Way Foundation brings together passionate changemakers, ages 13-23, who have an idea to make their local, national, or global communities a better, kinder place, through our leadership programs: the Call For Kindness Fellowship, school-based Clubs, and Youth Leadership Retreat. Empathy and kindness are often overlooked as critical leadership qualities. With thousands of people reached through youth-led social impact, Riley’s Way is changing that.

Riley’s Way inaugural Junior Board invites a dynamic group of young professionals (21+) located in the tristate area who are committed to advancing our mission of kindness, empathy, and youth leadership through fundraising and program engagement.

- Serve a 2-year term (extendable), with a monthly commitment of 2 hours

- Fulfill a minimum $1,000 annual Give/Get
- Host one annual fundraising event per year and support Riley’s Way events
