Overview

The mission of Young Voices is to ensure youth have a voice in the decisions that impact their lives, so we have to “walk the talk” in our own organization. Therefore, our Board of Directors is dominated by youth who participate in our training. The youth work alongside dedicated adult professionals to guide the organization and sustain its work, serving as committee Chairs and raising funds for Young Voices. Their participation on the Board is yet another opportunity for them to build advanced leadership skills.
