Meet the Presidents: RTS Youth Board

Scott Ferron, RTS Youth Board Co-President


The Rebuilding Together Seattle Youth Board is a service group of high school students in the greater Seattle area who support RTS and its mission through volunteering year-round.

Scott is a senior at Seattle Prep and is Co-President of the RTS Youth Board. Scott first got involved with RTS his sophomore year, through a community service club at Seattle Prep.

After Scott’s first Spring Rebuilding Day one of his friends asked him to join the Youth Board. He enjoyed SRD so much that he jumped at the chance. “The best part about being on the Youth Board is seeing people from high schools all over the area come together to work on a project to help the community,” Scott explained. “RTS brings groups of students from different high schools together to do something meaningful to make our city better.”

Scott is enthusiastic about RTS’ mission because he believes that “everyone deserves a home that they can call their own and where they can be independent.”
