Relay For Life Student Leadership Opportunity

Relay For Life is more than a single step in the right direction. It's the starting line to ignite a movement that begins within the walls of schools across the country. A movement that inspires the next generation of student leaders eager to take action to create change.

At Relay, we walk to those living with cancer and those remembering the ones they've lost never have to walk alone. We fundraise so those working tirelessly to improve cancer outcomes can continue to make the future bright.
