Youth Advisory Board
When our youth are empowered, they have the skills, critical awareness, and opportunities to positively impact their lives and those of other individuals, organizations, and communities. To truly empower them, an intentional advisory board was created to:
-
Include them in the decision-making process
-
Honor their voice
-
Understand and implement their honest opinions and ideas
-
Be willing to share our adult power and privilege to make the community a better place for them and others

Ki'lanii Shears

Angel Session
Board Member
“I am interested in joining Inspire Me because I want to be a voice for others. I have experience in school leadership at my school.”
Robyn Jiles
President
"I joined the Inspire Me Youth Advisory Board because the organization will help get the resources out to teens who don't have certain things. It also teaches you things about the real world and real situations that school will not, as well as how to protect or assist in preventing certain situations. It also personally has helped me with my self esteem, as well as resources I've needed."
Valese Edwards
Treasurer
"I want to be a part of Inspire Me because I feel like I could bring more girls together and have them be one instead of judging each other. I also would love to pitch in some good ideas I have."
