Youth Leadership groups: Pelham Youth Council & Club
Pelham Together sponsors two youth groups, the Pelham Youth Council (high school) and the PT Club (middle school). Both groups share an interest in caring for the social and emotional wellbeing of their peers and their community and the believe that establishing connection—across age groups, to adults, to opportunities, and to one another — makes a difference. This group of young leaders coordinates a variety of social and community events, service projects, and awareness campaigns in order to contribute to a safe, healthy, and vibrant community for everyone. Students build leadership and life skills in a fun, social atmosphere. Students at PMHS or PMS can join by emailing Danielle Marrero. Youth Council meetings take place every other Sunday and the Middle School Club meetings take place after-school on Mondays. learn more >
