Programs for Youth
BGC St. Alban's Youth Council
Every school year, our Club chooses 10 youth to serve on our St. Alban’s Youth Council.
Members of the council act as BGC ambassadors and advisors, ensuring the interests and needs of our local youth are heard. They represent and advocate for the youth perspective regarding Club programs, events, and practices.
Becoming a Youth Council member helps develop strong interpersonal and leadership skills; providing critical experience and supporting their local community.
