Whether you are an Elementary, High School, or University student, you can make a difference...and have fun doing so! March of Dimes Team Youth is a great way for students to achieve community service hours, gain recognition in their schools or within the community, and help save babies! There are many ways to get involved, no matter what your age!
Megan Myers, a junior at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and Seema Samuel, a sophomore at Drexel University in Philadelphia, are continuing their volunteer support for the March of Dimes while attending college in Pennsylvania! Megan and Seema both serve on the National Youth Council and are board members for their local chapter. Read their biographies by clicking here!
