Our Leadership

The LTYC Board of Directors uses their wisdom and creativity to provide exceptional leadership to the organization.

The Board partners with the Founders and Executive Director to determine strategic direction and growth opportunities for LTYC. The Board uses the principles of Counsel, Connections, Conviction, and Change to guide them.

Leaders of Tomorrow Youth Center, Inc. (LTYC) is looking for additional professionals who can contribute ideas and insights into the structure and the direction of this growing organization. We encourage individuals with a wide variety of backgrounds in education, arts management, business/entrepreneurship, social work, marketing, development and finance to give serious consideration to joining the Board of Directors of LTYC.

The Board meets quarterly and on special occasions, when required to make immediate decisions on unique issues.

If you have the qualities we are looking for and feel motivated to play a part in making significant inroads with LTYC, we want to hear from you. Please contact boarddirection@ltyc.net or complete the online inquiry form.
