The Riley's Army Teen Board is a leadership and service opportunity for high school students who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of children battling cancer. Teen Board members serve as ambassadors for Riley's Army by volunteering at events, organizing fundraisers and awareness campaigns, assisting with community outreach, and inspiring others to support our mission.
Members develop valuable leadership, teamwork, communication, and volunteer skills while earning service hours and creating a lasting impact within their community. Together, they help provide hope, encouragement, and critical support to pediatric cancer children and their families across North Carolina.
