The St. Jude Leadership Society is a membership of high-performing high-school students who share a passion for leadership and giving back.

 

During a six to eight month period, students will participate in dynamic educational sessions, such as Gratitude and Good Citizenship and Building Your Brand  while raising funds and awareness for St. Jude.

This unique shared experience culminates with the opportunity to visit the St. Jude campus in Memphis, Tennessee for members who achieve or exceed their St. Jude Leadership Society development goals.

  1. Each SJLS member is expected to attend a minimum of three Leadership Development Sessions. These sessions will include the topics:

    • Orientation & Team Building
    • Gratitude & Good Citizenship
    • Be the Best Version of Yourself
    • Inspired Leadership — Service & Leading with Heart

    Each member is also expected to fundraise and participate in the  St. Jude Memphis experience. This trip to the St. Jude campus will include:

    • St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital experience
    • Building Your Personal Brand
    • Diversity & Inclusion — National Civil Rights Museum experience

    Each SJLS member will be asked to raise a minimum of $2,500 by June 30, 2019.

Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80%. And we won't stop until no child dies from cancer.

We're relying on the dedication and passion of students around the country to help us continue the fight against childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
