2025-2026 Junior Board

The CARITAS Junior Board is a group of individuals in the Richmond area that represents a variety of backgrounds and/or professions.  Membership is open to anyone with an interest in CARITAS and helping us further our mission and goals. We want the Junior Board experience to be enriching for anyone in the Richmond region who is enthusiastic about being involved in their community in a meaningful way.  Additionally, this opportunity allows members to gain experience in Board service.

At this time, we’re taking a moment to thoughtfully refresh and realign the Junior Board to ensure its goals and structure are best positioned to uplift and advance the mission of CARITAS. We are working with care and intention to build a strong and impactful experience for future members. This page will be updated once the application for the 2025–2026 term becomes available. In the meantime, if you’re interested in learning more or getting involved, please reach out to our Senior Manager of Community Engagement, Ejana Bennett, at ebennett@caritasva.org.
