Hundreds of high school seniors are anxiously planning for college and beginning their Greenhouse Scholars applications, hoping to be selected to our Whole Person program. We invite our supporters to help us choose the next group of exceptional young leaders who will become the Class of 2021.
Volunteers are crucial in helping us make selections each year. This is a unique opportunity for our community to better understand the impressive young leaders who apply to Greenhouse Scholars and seeing, in action, just how much your investment and support means.
See below for more information on the commitment and timing. Please contact Lindsey Price at lprice@greenhousescholars.org by December 1st if you are interested in participating.
