As a Gen Z Advisory Council member, you are a representative of your home community as well as your organization. Members will be selected because their ideas and hard work embody our mission to provide the proper tools and resources to prevent youth violence and promote safe spaces free of bullying and addiction . As a result, it is also important to be aware that your actions also reflect on Safe At My House.

The development and success of the organization’s programs and initiatives is affected by your performance in completing duties. As a result, it is extremely important members attend all meetings, let us know in advance if they are unable to attend meetings, and be punctual. Your fellow Gen Z Advisory Council members will also rely on you to provide help and support.

As a Gen Z Advisory Council member, you are a role model to other youth who want to be leaders in their communities, just like you. This is an opportunity and a challenge to practice important leadership skills, and to guide and inspire other future leaders. The example that you set, through your motivation, your energy, and your commitment, will affect not only your fellow Gen Z Advisory Council members, but also our engagement with youth in our communities.
