We’re proud to introduce the new and returning members of our 2025-2026 NB3 Foundation Youth Council!  

Now in its third year, the NB3 Foundation Youth Council continues to grow as a platform for young leaders. We’re excited to welcome new and returning members of the 2025-2026 Youth Council, a dedicated group of youth committed to stepping up, speaking out, and leading change in their communities. 

This year, the council will continue to focus on youth development, community advocacy and taking on active leadership roles within the council itself. As part of their year-long commitment, youth council members will complete service hours by planning and participating in community-based projects within their schools and communities. These service hours will provide our youth hands-on opportunities to give back to the community, while also growing social connections, enhancing soft skills (e.g., perseverance, responsibility, teamwork), and gaining exposure to potential career paths. 

As affiliates of UNITY, Inc., our members benefit from a national and local network of affiliate youth councils, whose resources and support have helped strengthen their leadership journeys to amplify their voices. 

We look forward to seeing the council grow, inspire and lead with purpose!
