Thank you for your interest in serving on the Little Light House Youth Advisory Board. Our Mission is to “Glorify God by improving the quality of life for children with special needs, their families and communities.” To accomplish this mission we rely on individuals committed to serving Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior with the talents, knowledge and wisdom He has given them.
In an effort to engage youth in philanthropy and begin a path to nonprofit leadership, the Little Light House has established a Youth Advisory Board. Through participation in this program, young people will be given the opportunity to learn leadership skills, gain understanding of how a nonprofit organization works and how to develop, promote and implement their ideas to further God’s kingdom.
Little Light House desires to engage, educate and inspire young people to become more involved in their community. The relationships benefit all as LLH creates awareness of its services in high schools and colleges, resulting in more volunteers and donations, and students receive valuable work experience, leadership training and service hours.
Below, you will find the application. All individuals who feel called to serve at LLH are welcome to apply. All applications will be reviewed and acknowledged within one (1) week of completion.
Please take your time in completing this application. Your answers to these questions will determine if you are offered an interview slot. There will only be 60 interview slots this year, with 40 students being chosen for the board. Priority may be given to upperclassmen.
The Youth Advisory Board will hold Thursday evening meetings from 6:00-7:30pm, with dates to be agreed upon. Members will have one meeting a month April-June, and two meetings a month July-November. Youth Advisory Board members are expected to serve on the following: you will complete a summer volunteer requirement, attend Fall Fest, and not miss more than four (4) meetings.
Responses will be held in confidence. All applications will remain on file for one (1) year from the date of application.
Thank you.
Sara Emery, Director of Volunteers
Caroline Link, Volunteer Engagement Assistant
