Nominating prospective youth members serves as a recommendation and a way to identify young people in community doing great work who might not necessarily identify as leaders, or know about the YAC. Middle/high school students generally haven’t gone through the process of applying for jobs or developing their resumes, so they may be a bit shy when talking about their strengths. Nominators should know the potential member enough to describe in detail about their accomplishments and their impact on the community.
YAC members must fit the following criteria:
-
Baltimore City resident
-
Between 14-20 years old
-
Have permission from a parent/guardian to participate (if under 18 years old)
-
Available to attend meetings on every other Thursday from 4:30-5:30 pm during the school year
-
Able to attend the YAC Orientation on January 23, 2021
To be considered a candidate in the selection process, applicants must either submit a completed application or have a nominator submit the nomination form by Saturday, October 31 at 5PM. To complete a hard copy, visit U Choose's website.
