Teen Board

Students support our families in special ways

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.

Our Teen Boards 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, fundraisers, crafts, and field trips.
