Youth Directors on our Board
The Alliance Board
includes four directors ages 18-24 who represent the Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park community. They are a voice for middle and high school youth. The board meets four times a year, and these are 2-year appointments. See the roles and responsibilities here.
Alliance staff, in partnership with youth from Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park, develop action projects and initiatives to address youth needs and aspirations to accelerate youth success.
These include projects that will amplify youth voices
as they experience and develop solutions to public health issues such as COVID-19 and racism.
If you are interested in exploring partnership contact Liliana.
