  • Attending and participating in committee meetings as needed;
  • Vocally and passionately sharing student and youth perspectives on truancy and absenteeism and related issues;
  • Representing peers’ interests, experiences, and needs across the city; and
  • Participating in Taskforce-sponsored events and programs.
