Do you want to join a group of like-minded peers who wish to make a difference to help those less fortunate in your local community? The Stratton Foundation’s Junior Ambassador Program is a great way to have a voice and do good to help those in need by being active in the foundation’s events and programs, while also working closely with the executive director to organize and lead individual/group philanthropic initiatives.

To understand what a nonprofit does, it’s important to know its MISSION. The Stratton Foundation cares about the health and well-being of Vermont families living in economic hardship. Our goal is to end generational poverty. To do this, we focus on the children and the challenges they face in order to be healthy, safe, and successful. Our primary concerns are hunger, warmth and basic necessities, health, and education. To fulfill our mission, we hold major fundraising events, execute goodwill initiatives, and partner with schools and other organizations that provide critical services to those most vulnerable.

Perhaps you want to volunteer more, earn community service, learn about nonprofits, gain experience in running events or wish to have something fantastic to put on your college resume. Whatever the reason, there are lots of opportunities. And for everyone, it is a chance to align with a group of teens who wish to make a powerful difference.
