Who We Are
Created by and for young people, The Boarding School is a 501c(3) nonprofit dedicated to recruiting and training young people to serve on boards of organizations that affect their lives.
What We Do
Campaign.
We support community-led campaigns working to elect young people to their governing boards.
Educate.
We empower young people with knowledge and skills to be effective leaders in the boardroom.
Connect.
We cultivate a growing network of former, current, and prospective young board members.
How It Works
The Boarding School works with organizations whose actions directly impact young people to better incorporate a youthful perspective in their governance and decision-making processes across various domains, including academia, sports, business, entertainment, and government.
We believe that equipping young people to make a difference in these areas will help both our partner organizations, who will benefit from a more diverse and inclusive perspective, and our youth representatives, who will develop boardroom leadership skills early on in their life.
