NYSCF's Junior Leadership Council is a dedicated group of people in their 20s and 30s committed to furthering the mission of accelerating cures for the major diseases of our time through stem cell research. The council volunteers time, creativity and talent to increase awareness, raise funds and serve as ambassadors for NYSCF. Learn more about NYSCF's young leaders.
Junior Leadership Council participants:
- Support a great cause and make a tangible impact within a growing organization;
- Network with other young professionals at special NYSCF events;
