A student leader is a student, usually in grades 9-12, who participated in JUNA as a delegate and returns to JUNA to help the conference run smoothly. Student leaders take on different jobs, from running a committee, running General Assembly, organizing lunch, photographing delegates, and more.
Student leaders commit to two in-person trainings and the two days of JUNA in January. These jobs can be time-consuming, demanding, and extremely fun.
