Youth Board
Serving 15 Michigan Counties
The Orchards Children’s Services Youth Board is a diverse group of 9th – 12th graders from over 20 high schools in the state of Michigan. They are our future generation of philanthropists and volunteers. Each year they commit to volunteer projects that benefit hundreds of children and families in need. They design and execute the projects themselves, with the support of Orchards staff.
This amazing group of high school students stand committed to helping children and families in need with a spirit and vision of changing lives and bringing awareness to the community for the need for attention to child and family services.
They meet one Saturday each month from September – June.
