Jeffco Student Leadership Board
The Jeffco Student Leadership Board (JSLB) exists to amplify the voices of students—the district’s most important stakeholders—in shaping the future of education in Jeffco. This board provides students with a powerful platform to share their perspectives and influence the decisions, policies, and practices that impact their learning experience.
Why Join JSLB?
Participation on the JSLB is designed as a leadership internship experience where students grow their voice, build real-world skills, and make a meaningful impact across the district.
As a member, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how Jeffco Public Schools operates while working alongside district leaders, community partners, and fellow students on projects that matter. From shaping initiatives to planning events and elevating student perspectives, JSLB members play an active role in creating change.
Through this experience, students build confidence, strengthen their leadership and communication skills, and develop connections that extend beyond their own school—preparing them to lead in their communities and beyond graduation.
JSLB members are selected through an application and interview process led by both staff and current student leaders. We are looking for students who are thoughtful, collaborative, and ready to show up, share their voice, and grow.
