BSAC Youth Leaders will engage in various career and community explorations with a focus on leadership, wellness, and community connectedness. BSAC receives requests for youth involvement in retreats, conferences, community meetings, focus groups, and other events over the summer. Youth leaders must be ready to learn about relevant topics in preparation for meetings and events and engage during them, at times taking a personal or organizational stance to advance BSAC goals.
Key projects include:
- Advising the Boston Public Schools, Superintendent, and Department Chiefs on key issues impacting students.
- Working on various subcommittee topics that directly affect students' academic, social, and emotional well-being.
- Learning about the importance of wellness—mind, body, and soul—and how it impacts personal and community growth.
- Participating in community meetings, focus groups, and events to represent student voices and advocate for positive changes.
- Engaging in leadership development opportunities to build essential skills for personal and professional growth.
