Goals WHAT YOU’LL DO AS A VOLUNTEER CHAPTER ADVISOR You’ll sit in the passenger seat while teens take the wheel: you’ll challenge them, support them, help keep them focused, and connect them with resources so that they can do their best work and grow along the way. - Provide adult supervision on the ground during chapter programs as well as Regional events and Conventions, helping to maintain a safe and inclusive environment. - Guide teens with the calendaring, vision, and execution of impactful and fun programs. - Help chapter feel a part of something larger than themselves by learning and adapting BBYO best practices, encouraging chapter to set and meet goals, and participating beyond the chapter in region and movement-wide campaigns and initiatives. - Ensure consistent communication between chapter members and parents. - Empower the teens to make decisions, develop younger teen members into leaders, and create a strong community. - Help to resolve conflicts among chapter members. - Recruit and engage teens who should participate in BBYO summer and year-round leadership experiences. - Staff regional events, which at times includes helping to create programmatic content or assist with governance like elections. Advising also comes with some great perks. You’ll: - Develop meaningful relationships with the BBYO members, chapter parents, and community partners. - Access free professional development and training opportunities. - Connect with a network of more than 700 advisors across the globe for collaboration. - Have the opportunity to staff convention and domestic and international travel experiences. - Be part of the BBYO On Demand FAN Club, which includes special perks like product discounts, raffle giveaways, and exclusive bonus content. - Join a social community of local advisors like you -- many advisors have met their best friends (or even their beshert) through advising!
