Calling all high school juniors who have an interest in serving their community and school and representing the youth in Montgomery Village! The Montgomery Village Foundation (MVF) Board of Directors invites you to apply for the position of Student Representative. This collaborative program is intended to encourage more youth involvement and input into Montgomery Village activities and the community as a whole; to help bring a new perspective to Board decisions affecting the community; and to help build on the MVF Board’s Strategic Goal of continuing partnership opportunities with Village schools.

At the September 28 MVF Board of Directors meeting, the position application and selection process was approved for this new initiative, which arose from a discussion topic at the annual Board retreat.

All high school juniors who live in Montgomery Village are eligible to apply. Selection will be made based on applicants’ GPA, interest in government/political science/organization management/business, extracurricular activities, a letter of recommendation and availability for scheduled Board meetings. The position will also include a summer internship (June to August) in the MVF Office. 

The MVF Nominating Committee will review the submitted applications in early February and recommend no more than three candidates to the Board for final selection. The selected candidate will be installed as a non-voting member at the Board’s Annual Meeting in March. The chosen candidate will participate in Board discussions and initiatives; work with staff on projects; and gain a clearer understanding of policy decisions in the community.
