Training youth volunteers in marketing, program management, social impact committees, and Creatives Corner empowers them with the tools they need to succeed. By focusing on hands-on experience and clear communication, we ensure they truly understand their roles and the larger impact they’re making. When youth see their work come to life, it builds not only their skills but also their confidence and self-esteem.
