And for that matter, who says you have to be an adult? Well, not Sarina Dayal. She became a Junior Board of her family’s private foundation when she was only 14-year-old.
 

Now a junior at the University of California, Davis, Sarina reflects on the six years she’s spent serving on the Tarsadia Foundation’s Junior Board with her sister and cousins in a deep conversation with Forward Thinking.
 

As the 20-years-old explains during the podcast, the Junior Board helped learn about international and place-based family philanthropy while also imparting leadership skills. Sarina also offers insight into addressing a position of privilege among peers and grantees as well as the foundation’s role in cementing family values. Now, take a listen for yourself:
