Junior Board

The Naperville Area Humane Society (NAHS) Junior Board empowers passionate high school students to make a meaningful difference in the lives of homeless animals. Through planning and leading creative fundraising events, community service projects, and awareness campaigns, Junior Board members help generate critical financial support while educating the community about animal welfare. By engaging their peers and building new community connections, members play an important role in promoting adoptions, inspiring volunteerism, and creating brighter futures for the dogs and cats in NAHS's care.
