Boxes of basics teen board
What is the Teen Board?
Our Teen Board is made up of passionate high school students who volunteer their time to support Boxes of Basic’s mission. The program brings together teens from each local high school to work with mentors to develop and implement projects to meet the needs of local kids. Teens will get insight into the functions and demands of running a nonprofit organization while gaining hands-on leadership experience, collaborative project management skills and building organization and communications skills.
Program Benefits
· Learn first-hand about the challenges and joys of running a non-profit organization.
· Develop and hone leadership, project-management, organizational and communication skills.
· Directly improve the lives of local kids.
· Collaborate with like-minded teens from across the county.
· Increase a passion for community service.
