Wisely encouraged by his mom, Adam joined the Youth Commission three years ago. Today, he steps to the helm as a refined student-leader with experience, ideas, defined goals and the ambition needed to head such an outstanding commission in Attleboro. 

Adam previously held the position of Treasurer, enabling him to smoothly advance to the role of chairman. With his experience and vision, he hopes to expand and develop the commission as he leads them into their next season of existence.

Feeling the weight of responsibility on his shoulders, Adam takes the position seriously. He is ambitious and ready to adventure into new things. His most pressing goal is to take the commission beyond fundraising.

As the former Treasurer, Adam is proud of the past fundraising efforts and success of the commission. He looks forward to hosting events such as the annual HEAT fundraiser. Additionally, Adam anticipates bringing the commission back to its roots by closely connecting the youth to the city’s government. The commission meets every other week with alternating Wednesdays and Thursdays, with the next meeting scheduled on April 7.  Adam invites anyone interested in becoming a new member to attend.

In addition to Adam's significant contributions to the Youth Commission, he volunteers his time to the Attleboro Youth Baseball Association. His time is spent assisting in the concession stand, and he holds a place on the board for the Attleboro Summer All-Star tournament. This tournament takes place each summer on the Poncin-Hewitt field.
