Youth Leadership Opportunities
The Education and Enrichment program at Big Brothers Big Sisters is developing a Community-based Youth Leadership Council and a Community-based High School Leadership Council to engage young leaders with the Big Brothers Big Sisters mission and programming. Council members will have the opportunity to build their leadership skills, become leaders within the organization by driving the planning of activities for middle school and high school matches, participate in special events, and enhance their resumes and college applications.
