A Healthy Lynnfield Seeks Youth Council Members

A Healthy Lynnfield, a community partnership working to promote healthy choices in Lynnfield, is launching a Youth Council to utilize teen’s energy, passion, and ideas as a powerful prevention resource for the community. Youth Council leaders will plan and implement prevention strategies through civic engagement, education, media campaigns, and volunteerism. A Healthy Lynnfield’s Youth Council will help members increase their connection to the community, create solid relationships with positive adult role models, and ultimately help build skills for college and career readiness.

“Potential Youth Council leaders must be current Lynnfield High School students who are interested in substance use prevention work, health and wellness, youth empowerment and community engagement,” said Julie Greene, Drug Free Community Coordinator for A Healthy Lynnfield. “Students must be open to working with a group and motivated to learn and experience new things. They must also be willing to lead the work and projects of A Healthy Lynnfield’s Youth Council at large with support from adult facilitators.”

Youth Council leaders will receive $15 per hour for 4 hours per month based on required minimum attendance. To learn more please contact Julie Greene at greenej@lynnfield.k12.ma.us.
