Youth Voice Project
About the Youth Voice Project: The initiative presents an exciting opportunity for high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors to actively participate in decisions that directly influence their lives. Through this program, students will not only have the chance to lead but also actively engage in projects that amplify their voices within our community. This leadership development initiative aims to equip students with practical skills such as conflict resolution, continuous improvement, organizing, and event planning. Throughout these projects, students will receive guidance and support from our Community Engagement Network Manager, Lawrence Kirby.
What You'll Gain: Across a 6-month period, this leadership development program will empower you to unlock your potential and create projects that promote awareness for causes you're passionate about. Plus, it's an excellent opportunity to accumulate community service hours!
