Young Adult Spot (YAS) is a social advocacy group for all young adults ages 18-24. This group will work together on dedicated volunteer projects, as a team, to help create an affirming and inclusive environment for all LGBTQ+ young people.
What does it mean to be a Young Adult Spot Leader?
The YAS Leaders will take pride in being part of the creative process which will give them the opportunity to demonstrate their own leadership abilities. YAS Leaders lead by example, create a space where open and productive communication is encouraged, set goals, and encourage constructive feedback from all team members. This process prepares the next generation of diverse leaders for greater community engagement.
The YAS cohort-based leadership program will have a strong emphasis on personal development and self-awareness while building a strong network of LGBTQ+ peers with whom you can share ideas, experiences, and connections. Where the majority see obstacles, our YAS Cohort will see opportunities and possibilities.
📢 AS A YAS LEADER, YOU WILL PARTICIPATE IN CAREER DAY, MONTHLY CLOSET POP-UPS, QUEER PROM, AND AT LEAST 1 OTHER EVENT IN THE MONTH OF JUNE (PRIDE EVENT)
Meetings will be held one to two times a month, virtually. All events will be in person. We will have a celebratory dinner in June ❤
