Campus Compact is excited to announce a new partnership initiative with the launch of The Allstate Foundation Youth Action Board, funded by The Allstate Foundation and hosted by Campus Compact. The Youth Action Board will comprise thirty youth board members (aged 18 - 22) who will serve staggered, one- to two-year terms. The Youth Action Board will achieve this mission by developing and participating in youth-led service initiatives, planning and launching national youth engagement efforts (including summits and days of service), advising The Allstate Foundation and its partners on pressing youth issues, and expanding Campus Compact’s commitment to centering student civic voices and providing opportunities for student leadership.
The Allstate Foundation Youth Action Board will be responsible for helping The Allstate Foundation advance its strategy to empower youth to serve and improve communities across the country. This partnership will be hosted by Campus Compact and managed by the Student Engagement Team at Campus Compact.
