• Lindbergh Schools Foundation Junior Board

  • In 2021, the Lindbergh Schools Foundation introduced a new board exclusively for high school juniors, known as the Junior Foundation Board.

    Comprising young leaders, the Junior Foundation Board actively engages in identifying and spearheading mission-critical initiatives for the Foundation. As we enter the board's third year, we look forward to continued collaboration and impactful contributions from these emerging leaders.
