YOUTH ACTION TEAM:
Our Youth Action Team is an invaluable part of our organization. We rely on them for input and advice, and help shaping our focus and direction. Each young person is a member of two Board committees and plays a key role in our organizational decision making process. This is a direct way for our organization to put our mission into action. It also puts the youth’s statement of purpose into action by “giving youth a voice.
