Open to individuals ages 20-39 Active 20-30 clubs bring together emerging leaders who are passionate about making a difference through hands-on service and fundraising. With a rich history of supporting underserved children, Active 20-30 was founded to fill a need that existing service organizations were not addressing. Over time, we have grown and evolved alongside our members, adapting to the changing needs of our communities while building meaningful traditions along the way. Active 20-30 provides a hands-on way to grow and practice leadership skills such as project management, public speaking, and fundraising. It's a chance to connect with passionate, like-minded people in your community and beyond, all while making a meaningful impact on causes you care about. Will be a member of the national board and executive committee that oversees the club's governance and liaises with local chapters (like described in my previous AIM submittal) to support the mission on the ground in local communities. Mostly once-a-month board meetings via Zoom to discuss/vote on proposals for charitable endeavors (fundraising, benevolent grants, etc.). I will not have access to organization funds personally.
