At BOF, we are dedicated to fostering the leaders of tomorrow through our Youth Voice Project. This initiative emphasizes leadership development and advocacy education, empowering high school students to champion their own educational experiences and advocate for their peers.
In the past school year, nine students from five local high schools organized a Town Hall Forum with school board candidates, engaging voters in a dialogue about key educational issues. They also initiated an advocacy project aimed at improving outcomes for all high school students. We are eager to build on their efforts and implement their plan during the 2024-2025 school year. We are now recruiting KUSD high schoolers in grades 10-12 for the upcoming school year. Please share the registration link with your networks and encourage interested students to apply. Applications are open until early October, with the cohort meeting twice a month after school. We're seeking a results-driven professional dedicated to enhancing cradle-to-career outcomes for children and families. If you excel in strategic communications, project management, and fostering collaboration, we want you on our team! Apply now and be part of creating meaningful change in the Kenosha Community.
