Fall 2022: Dept. Of Buildings Youth Leadership Council

As DOB Youth Leadership Councilmembers, students will receive in-depth curriculum developed by professionals across our various units. Following 8 weeks of presentations led by subject matter experts and professional development opportunities led by our team, YLC members will develop their own presentations inspired by the content they learned from Subject Matter Experts! Participants will then have the opportunity to deliver group presentations to school faculty, DOB staff/leadership, and representatives from several other City agencies. Upon your completion of the program, you will be awarded a certificate which recognizes your work and membership in the Fall 2022 DOB Youth Leadership Council!  

Here is an overview of this year's program calendar. Sessions will take place weekly on Wednesdays (with breaks for holidays & school vacation) in person at the Dept. of Buildings office located at 280 Broadway NY, NY 10007. Attendance is mandatory.
