Youth Board

Who Are We? 

The Northern Lakes Youth Board is a collection of teenagers and young adults interested in engaging in regional leadership and fostering stronger connections among teenaged membership.  The board voices the educational goals of teenaged membership to the adult leadership, but we also organize educational, social, and service opportunities in a safe and encouraging atmosphere.   Working with an adult advisor, members learn leadership and organizational skills across multiple areas, including interpersonal, financial, and logistical.  In all events, the social interaction with similarly-aged peers is stressed, as a strong community is an essential element for everything else we do.

What We Have Been Up To

Many thanks to Liz for taking on the role of primary organizer for TWO successful treat fundraisers!  We had lots of fun mixing batter, baking treats, and packaging them for customers.  Everyone who sold treats and helped on the bake day made this event possible!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The NLR Youth Board planned and hosted its first C-Retreat in August 2021 at The Stables Equestrian Center in Rochester, MN.  We had a weekend filled with veterinary education, switch rides, mounted instruction practice, ghost stories, bonfires, and more!
