As we embark on our second year, the focus will continue to succeed in matters on leadership, planning and execution, advocacy for positive change, proper and professional communication and use of social media. Today, our youth are facing unprecedented situations. They are forced to constantly adapt to the changes in result of this pandemic. From the constant fear, confusion, curiosity, stress and more; now more than ever, our Youth need an outlet of positivity and creativity.
The guidance we strive for our Youth Leader Program to offer will advocate our mission in creating a positive change in a safe and healthy environment. All high school students on Guam were encouraged to apply for the GTA Youth Leader position, and an overwhelming amount of applications were submitted by competitive candidates exemplifying their achievements and the impact they have made in the community.
