About:
The #DegreesNYC Youth Council is an opportunity for NYC high school, college, and non-traditional students to be a part of a youth advocacy network by working with #DegreesNYC. Our Youth Council is committed to making schools and campuses more student-ready by advocating for institutional and political reform.
Responsibilites
The Youth Council consists of three action areas: Media, Outreach, and Policy. Youth Council members are encouraged to participate in any of the three action areas that interest them. There is a paid fellowship opportunity available for students (both traditional and non-traditional) who can commit approximately 10-15 hours of their time monthly to the Youth Council.
#DegreesNYC Youth Fellows are also responsible for specific goals based on their action area. A breakdown of the fellowship and its responsibilities are listed below:
