The Junior Committee of Children of Bellevue is dedicated to raising awareness to individuals in their 20s and 30s through events, support and education. We are a diverse group of civic-minded professionals. The Junior Committee is provided with the opportunity to build leadership skills while learning about the City’s under-served families and the ongoing challenges facing the non-profit sector.

Members have the opportunity to volunteer regularly in the hospital. Activities include game nights, playing kickball on the roof, as well as seasonal events like making ginger bread houses and dying Easter eggs.

The Committee plans small-scale fundraisers, like open bar events and cocktail parties.  The number and size of these events varies each year, depending on the committee’s vision.
