Thank you for your interest in Teen Board and Teen Ambassadors for Norton Children’s Hospital Foundation.
The Norton Children’s Hospital Foundation Teen Ambassadors and Teen Board are leadership programs that provide Kentuckiana students with a connection to the patients and families of Norton Children’s through service, philanthropy, and fundraising. While both programs support the mission of Norton Children’s Hospital Foundation, each has distinct requirements, time commitments, and areas of focus.
For students in ninth grade and up
The Teen Ambassadors program is an excellent entry point for students who want to get involved with Norton Children’s Hospital Foundation. Designed to be accessible, Teen Ambassadors meet twice per semester and focus on exposure to the hospital and foundation’s mission, providing opportunities to engage, learn, and represent Norton Children’s in the community.
For students interested in eventually joining Teen Board, Teen Ambassadors serves as a valuable steppingstone. The program emphasizes exposure and exploration, while Teen Board centers more heavily on leadership and responsibility.
For high school juniors and seniors
Students entering their junior or senior year may choose to continue or begin involvement as a Teen Ambassador, or they can deepen their impact by applying to become a Teen Board member. Teen Board members make a higher level of commitment and play a more active leadership role.
Teen Board meets monthly, hears from leaders within and beyond the Norton Children’s network, and participates in personal and leadership development opportunities. Members are expected to fulfill volunteer and fundraising requirements that directly support Norton Children’s Hospital Foundation. Teen Board members also work collaboratively to plan fundraising events and create meaningful in-hospital programming for patients and families.
