Join the Youth Council to make a real impact while building skills and connections that last far beyond high school. Your support helps grant wishes for children with critical illnesses, while giving you the opportunity to grow as a leader, and connect with peers across Alaska and Washington.

The Youth Council brings together high school students who want to make a difference in their communities. Members take part in monthly virtual meetings, lead or support fundraising efforts at their schools, and collaborate on meaningful service projects — all in a supportive, inspiring environment.

Why join the Youth Council:

• Make a real impact by helping grant wishes for children with critical illnesses
• Build leadership, fundraising and communication skills.
• Strengthen your resume, college applications and professional network.
• Connect with other motivated students across Alaska and Washington.

Members work together to fundraise, volunteer and support one another — all while having fun and contributing to a cause that matters.

The Youth Council is actively recruiting passionate, caring leaders as new members!  Interested in transforming a local child's life through the power of a wish?
