Youth Leadership
|
Youth engage as decision-makers in their schools and community through opportunities supported by the Network. An annual Beacons Leadership Retreat builds leadership skills, a sense of common identity, and sets the annual agenda for community action. Youth advisory boards at each Center feed into a city-wide Beacons Leadership Team and youth contribute to quality assessment and program design.
At Beacons we help the community and our classroom. |

The thing I like the most is that it beats the stigma of the atmosphere that it's not cool to be a "Nerd" -- Beacons is a place to go and 'geek out', students get extra time with people that they would like to associate with and be drama free.
