Young Friends Leadership Council
Applications for 2013 are currently closed. However, we are always looking for interested members to join our governing board, the Young Friends Leadership Council (YFLC). If you apply, we will consider you for any open positions next year.
The YFLC is a place for people with a major passion for St. Louis Public Radio to come together, and with whatever resources fit them best, strive to create support for St. Louis Public Radio, both locally and nationally. YFLC members are chosen on the basis of their willingness to contribute their time, talent, and support.
Since its inception in Fall 2010, the YFLC has concentrated its efforts on organizing events related to the mission of St. Louis Public Radio and partnering with organizations that share our commitment to fostering a flow of information and entertainment that opens minds and nourishes the spirit.
