Hoover Community Connections Student Ambassadors

Hoover Community Connections has developed an ambassador program to increase youth voice in the organizations serving Hoover youth and help reach students who are not connected. With the support of The Youth Advocacy Department, Hoover Community Connection Ambassadors will identify barriers to students’ success at Hoover and help connect peers to organizations and support services. The ultimate goal is to enhance students’ high school experience.

On Saturday, October 20th, the ambassadors convened to work with their club advisor and the Youth Advocacy Department to develop their leadership skills and identify their goals for the upcoming year. Ambassadors also learned how to run and facilitate a restorative community building circle which will help them to lead discussions throughout the year with their peers on topics that they feel are relevant to student success.

Youth Advocacy will continue to work with Hoover and other schools to empower students to make the changes they want to see.
