YOUTH ACTION COUNCIL

 
 

YOuth-Driven, YOuth-Centered, youth-Envisioned, YOuth Action

Established in fall 2015, Youth Action Council serves as the leadership body that informs GRP’s programming. In this dynamic year-round program, returning GRP participants ages 15-19 engage in trainings and skill-building, contribute to programmatic decision-making, collaborate with other organizations on addressing emergent issues, and developing their own projects that support GRP’s mission and vision!

YAC aims to serve as a leadership body for GRP teens, but the exact scope of its work is explored and defined by each cohort. Possible activities include:

  • Shape curriculum for C.A.R.E. Lab sessions including:
    -solicit and choose workshops
    -brainstorm themes

  • Help inform year-round GRP programs like workshops and after-school programs

  • Collaborate on Direct Actions and Organizing for political change with other Youth Organizers

  • Build relationships with GRP Board members and attend board meetings

  • Attend skill-building workshops and/or trainings

  • Collaborate on musical and creative projects with other members
