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 difference by bringing fresh ideas and representing the voices of youth so we can create programs that inspire, empower and truly meet the needs of members across all Clubs.

Why is it important for BGCA to consider the voices of young people when creating things for Clubs?

It’s important for BGCA to hear from young people because we know what works best for us. Listening to our voices makes programs more engaging, relevant and helps us feel valued.
