Generation Inspiration Board of Young Leaders
What is the Generation Inspiration Board of Young Leaders?
During the school year, Generation Inspiration is run by 5 - 8 elite Gainesville High School students (Generation Inspiration Board of Young Leaders) who go above and beyond in pursuing their dreams and paving the way for the next generation to transform our community.
How You Become a Board Member
To be considered for the board, each student must present an essay on why they want to be on the board, and how they believe they can contribute to the success/progress Generation has made so far. Additionally, each board member is elected due to their love for the community, their desire to better themselves, and their notable progress over the course of our 8 week summer program. Every student who is on the Generation Inspiration Board of Young Leaders applied and were chosen to be on the board at the end of the Summer program.
