This is a great opportunity for your 8th grade students to get involved in the BBCC’s Mid Action Board (MAB) which will be guided and facilitated by BBCC’s youth program coordinator, Kelly Michaud, along with support of our amazing Youth Action Board high school teens, your students will have the opportunity to:

  • Meet as a MAB group with other Middle School students from other schools.
  • Identify and dialogue on timely and relevant issues they are dealing with. Start thinking about the community and their environment in a healthy and positive way.
  • Prepare for the transition to high school with guidance from the BBCC and YAB teens.
  • Learn about substance use and abuse for alcohol, vapes and marijuana, as well as, self-reflection, healthy habits, refusal skills, and more.
  • Develop their voice on these issues, contribute their opinions and ideas, and more importantly put their ideas into action — in their schools and community. And… have some fun in the process!
