Empowering teens to support their community.

What is Teen Council?

The Phoenix Children’s Foundation Teen Council is a group of young minds coming together to make a difference. Members are empowered to drive positive change in their community. Whether it's organizing fundraising events, advocating for pediatric healthcare initiatives, or volunteering for events, our Teen Council members are the driving force behind creating a brighter future for the patients and families we serve. Members learn the importance of volunteer work and develop leadership and teamwork skills.

How does it work?

Teen Council members must commit to being active and engaged. Passion is a must! We are here to fundraise and help the kids! Members should be able to commit to:
