TxSSC Statewide Youth Leadership Group

Tx Youth Leadership

At TxSSC we recognize the importance of involving youth. Were creating a statewide youth leadership group to help drive, influence, and contribute to our services. This group, made up of all types of leaders from across the state, will be responsible for creating a plan-of-action and "voting" on TxSSC proposed initiatives targeted toward youth. Each member will also be required to take action in their communities by participating in and organizing community-wide school safety events.
