WE BELIEVE…

  • When young people are given a seat at the table, communities grow stronger.
  • We share a collective responsibility to empower youth with opportunities to lead, serve, and shape the future.

Pillars for Success

Community Service

Each teen board member will participate in at least two community service projects; at least one of those to be planned by the teen board as a group!

Leadership Development

During the year, each teen board member will receive mentorship and develop professional skills. We’ll do this through team-building, guest speakers, skillbuilding workshops, and leadership enrichment!

  • Achieve: Lead projects and initiatives while building professional skills and using branding, storytelling, and creative strategy to drive real impact.
  • Build Relationships: Collaborate with peers, staff, and community partners to strengthen teamwork, communication, and lasting mentorship connections.
  • Feel a Sense of Belonging: Contribute your ideas to meaningful programs, see your impact, and be recognized as a valued member of a youth-driven team.
