City-Wide Teen Leadership Summit
At Boys & Girls Clubs of the Chattahoochee Valley we believe that teens are the next generation of leaders and have the power to make a difference – in their own lives, in our organization, and in their communities at-large. As our organization continues to enjoy a legacy of empowering youth to reach their full potential, we also see that our community needs young leaders now more than ever. To that end, we are gathering teens from across the city, both Club attendees and non-club attendees to discuss pressing teen issues, celebrate their accomplishments and advocate for the future. We believe this is just one way we can have the most positive impact on youth and teens in this ever-evolving community.
