Middle and high schoolers can now submit their applications to join the 2022-23 Community PedsCare Teen Advisory Board with Jacksonville’s Community Hospice and Palliative Care.

Selected board members will serve as ambassadors for the Community PedsCare program, raising both funds and awareness for the “nationally recognized pediatric palliative care and hospice program of Community Hospice & Palliative Care for children in Northeast and North Central Florida who live with complex, chronic, life-limiting, or advanced illness.”

Board members will also volunteer for program activities, create fundraising opportunities and host events for families in the program.

“We are excited to welcome back our teens for the 2022-2023 school year,” said Annie Tuttle, executive director of the Community Hospice Foundation for Caring, in a press release.  “We are looking forward to all the changes we are making to the Teen Advisory Board including more opportunities for the teens to engage with our families and be involved with the planning and volunteering at our major events. The Teen Advisory Board is great way for our young leaders to have a positive impact on our community while working with their peers.”

Teenagers have been serving on and volunteering with the Teen Advisory Board for the Community PedsCare program for at least five years.

The application and more information is available at tab.communityhospice.com.
