Throughout the year, Youth Representatives attend about six meetings with the full Board of Directors where they provide reports on how Pride for Youth programs are doing. They are assigned to additional committees dealing with fundraising, governance and/or quality improvement. They also meet with Pride for Youth’s Director and Long Island Crisis Center’s Executive Director to gain knowledge of how a not-for-profit operates.

This is a volunteer opportunity and an extremely valuable experience for young people building resumes for college and/or future employment.
