Youth Leadership Council
“I would describe the YLC as a place where you can be comfortable with who you are and learn about your communities and how you can help them and a place where you can share your idea.”
Summary
This youth leadership council provides young leaders aged 10-14 an opportunity to be part of projects that encourage leadership skills but also allow for them to be the youth voice and create change in their local communities. Members participate in an adolescent conference where they speak on important topics relevant to what their communities are going through. Members also have an opportunity to participate in a local school project that encourages unity and support. To learn how to get involved, please contact carecoalitionaz@touchstonebh.org.
