BOSS Athletics Incorporated
LEADERSHIP STARTS WITH REAL EXPERIENCE
The BOSS Junior Project Leadership Program gives young volunteers under age 18 an opportunity to develop leadership, professional, and project-management skills while supporting the mission of BOSS Athletics Incorporated. Participants work on supervised, age-appropriate projects that support real organizational goals while learning to plan, communicate, collaborate, solve problems, and take responsibility for meaningful work.
WHAT JUNIOR LEADERS DO
Development Tracks
Junior volunteers contribute to real BOSS Athletics projects through supervised, age-appropriate assignments.
• Project planning and task tracking
• Photography and approved event media
• Community outreach and sponsorship support
• Fundraising activities
• Sports clinics, camps, and special events
• Administrative and operations support
• Guest and participant support
• Faith-based programs and service initiatives
Each participant is assigned a role and development track based on individual interests, strengths, program needs, and readiness.
Participants in this track may help identify potential community partners, prepare approved outreach materials, track communications, support event photography, organize project information, and assist with project completion.
