(Chelsea Update would like to thank Kate Ankenbauer for the information in this story.)
The Chelsea community wants youth to join their team.
SRSLY Chelsea is inviting youth ages 12 and up with a passion for mental health and a desire to make their voices heard to become a part of a community coalition in a big way.
The coalition wants to hear youth-inspired ideas and provide the space for them to be achieved. Even better, they want youth to take the lead.
What exactly does this recruitment opportunity look like? Youth are invited to join any of the five teams:
- Creative (branding, marketing, communications)
- Awareness (advocacy, spreading awareness, social campaigns)
- Program (events, trainings, programming)
- Sustainability (fundraising, staffing, evaluations)
- Community (volunteer recruitment, connecting with donors, networking) and get to work on making a difference in your community.
