What kind of difference do you hope to make while being a part of BGCA’s National Youth Advisory Council?
I hope to make a meaningful and lasting difference, one that can positively impact teens across America and all of our Clubs.
What do you think Club and BGCA staff should know to better connect with and understand today’s teens?
I think they should know that today’s teens want to feel heard. When adults listen to our ideas and treat us like partners, we’re more likely to open up, get involved and grow.
What brings you joy?
What brings me joy is giving people a voice and making a real difference in my community. I love connecting with others, hearing different perspectives and turning ideas into action.
