HCS Family Services Junior Board Mission Statement
We are a group of motivated high school students who give back, have fun, and make an impact through volunteering, fundraising, and promoting the mission of HCS Family Services.
About the HCS Family Services Junior Board
The HCS Family Services Junior Board is a leadership group made up of 25 to 30 high school students from Chicago’s western suburbs who are passionate about making a difference in their community. Junior Board members support the mission of HCS Family Services by raising awareness, volunteering at our Hinsdale and Willowbrook pantries, and planning fundraisers that help local families in need. Through their service, members develop valuable leadership, teamwork, and communication skills while building friendships and making a meaningful impact. Members who fulfill the Board’s participation requirements may also include their Junior Board service on college applications and résumés.
