Junior Board
Workshops' Junior Board was started in 2008 to help raise the profile of Workshops, Inc. in the community, and raise funds for support of Workshops. Each year the Junior Board hosts casual and fun events. With the proceeds from this event, the Junior Board has been able to purchase products for special projects at Workshops - from a shrink-wrap machine used in the bindery department to the plants in our new landscape.
The Junior Board is a fun and dedicated group of young professionals who are always open to new members. If you are interested in potentially becoming a member of the Workshops Junior Board, you can download an application here.
