Youth & Teen Councils
Our YMCA is looking for energetic, intelligent, and innovative youth to serve on our youth and teen councils. These councils will act as a strategic planning team working with the CEO and his team to create and promote new and exciting programs to attract area youth to our YMCA.
The councils will be made up of 10-12 youth and teens who have utilized the YMCA for at least one year and are familiar with our services. Each month, they will meet with the CEO's team over dinner to discuss current programs, future program opportunities, and more. We will be accepting applications through October 14th. Please have your applications turned in to Bobby Zoeller at the I.D. Pennock Family YMCA Administration Office.
This is an excellent opportunity to help make the Y what you think it should be. We are hoping to find youth as excited as we are about this opportunity!
