What does MYL mean to you? Why join the board?
Maine Youth Leadership has enriched my life in so many ways - from building a network of enthusiastic, passionate peers to developing and refining my own leadership skills as I evolve as a person. I initially joined the MYL Board as a way to stay involved in the program but I remain committed to the Board as a way to help ensure that MYL can impact Maine's youths for another 50 years.
