Upcoming Event!

Join us for our 4th Annual Youth-Led School Board Candidate Forum on March 13, 2025.
About the Youth Voice Project: This initiative offers high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors an exciting opportunity to actively engage in decisions that impact their lives and participate in projects that amplify their voices within our community. Through this program, students will: 
​
  • Develop leadership skills
  • Learn conflict resolution and other practical skills
  • Gain hands-on experience in organizing and event planning 
  • Participate in our annual Youth-Led Town Hall School Board Candidate Forum
  • Take part in projects and initiatives developed by the Youth Voice Project team

Students will lead these projects with guidance and support from Building Our Future staff. 
Curious to learn more? You can also hear directly from the youth who participated in our previous projects in our Together, We're Better podcast episodes. 
What You'll Gain: Over six months, this leadership development program will empower you to realize your potential and design projects that raise awareness about causes you're passionate about. It's also a great way to earn community service hours!
