What is a Peer Leader?
Peer Leaders are ambassadors and youth leaders of tSB. The PL program’s mission is to facilitate the development of youth leadership skills in a select group of tSB graduates. We will do this by training Peer Leaders in leadership, personal, professional, and important life skills. This is a paid position and requires a significant commitment and dedication, but is highly beneficial!
A new cohort of 5-8 peer leaders are selected each fall to receive professional development training to plan and execute the upcoming Winter programs (WP).
Peer leaders support tSB in the following ways:
- Help develop our social justice/environmental justice curriculum along with service projects that reflect the current issues that our youth are facing
- Provide organizational leadership by participating in our hiring and visioning process, which includes recruiting and interviewing potential youth participants, mentors, and staff
- Attend board meetings/help on Board committees to provide youth voice with the strategic direction of the organization.
- Fundraising and Public Speaking at our annual gala
