Honoring our history. Inspiring our future.

St. Jude Leadership Society (SJLS) features exceptional high-school students from across the country who share
a passion for leadership, service and community. SJLS gives members an opportunity to give back through service
and leadership by promoting and supporting the mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®: Finding cures.
Saving children.® There are three unique elements to the SJLS experience:

Leadership Development
Members participate in a series of leadership development sessions that engage a variety of successful community
and corporate leaders. All session experiences are inspired by St. Jude Founder Danny Thomas and focus on universal
leadership traits like good citizenship, gratitude, grit, integrity, empathy and courage.

Shared Experience
Throughout the SJLS journey, members will have an opportunity to learn from mentors, peers and ALSAC/St. Jude
executives and partners, alike. Through their shared experience, members will gain valuable insight into a variety
of career paths, improve communication and exercise skills that will set them apart no matter what career path
they choose.

Transformational Fundraising
All members will receive the tools, training and resources they need to successfully leverage their passion, skills
and networks to build and execute a fundraising strategy. Throughout the SJLS experience, members learn how
to manage a project from start to finish and will have an opportunity to apply all that is learned through their SJLS
leadership development sessions. While SJLS fundraising goals start at the $2,500 level, every dollar raised funds
the lifesaving research and world-class care of St. Jude.
