HOMEYOUTH PROGRAMSBOARDMANSHIP INSTITUTE

What is the Youth Boardsmanship Institute?

The Youth Boardsmanship Institute offers high school aged youth training on how to be an effective board member. There are three components:

• building leadership skills and knowledge about non-profit boards through course work;
• gaining volunteer experience in community organizations; and
• the opportunity to become a board member for a non-profit agency.

Youth Participants will have the opportunity to:

• become a board member for a non-profit organization;
• provide the board of directors with insight regarding youth and their perspective about needs in the community;
• gain valuable volunteer experience; and

Board meetings:
Once placed on a board, youth will be expected to attend all board meetings (usually once a month)
