Meet Justin
Professional Speaker, Elected Official, Scout Emergency Medical Technician, and Public Servant
A Life of Service to Others
Justin Green, whose’s path has been defined by compassion, leadership, and a commitment to helping others; he has dedicated his young career to advocating for student rights and equitable education. A graduate of the Gloucester County Institute of Technology, Justin began advocating for students early on, serving as the 1st Student Representative on the Board of Education for the Gloucester County Vocational–Technical School District. During his time in that role, at age 17, he championed several student-centered initiatives, including improved access to menstrual products in schools—a change that would later become law in New Jersey.
Justin earned his Emergency Medical Technician certification from the George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates. Shortly after, he spent a season in Vail, Colorado as a ski instructor, teaching hundreds of young children and working alongside colleagues from around the world. The experience strengthened his belief in patience, cultural understanding, and service to others—values that continue to guide his work today.
Justin graduated Summa Cum Laude from Rowan University, with a degree in political science, and a minor in law and justice. A dedicated student, he has consistently earned President’s List and Dean’s List honors.
At 19, Justin was elected to the Deptford Township Board of Education, becoming one of the youngest elected officials in New Jersey. In this role, he draws on his lived experience as a recent public school student and aims to strengthen communication, support student success, and promote fairness and transparency in local education.
Beyond public service, Justin is a passionate volunteer with Scouting America. Through Scouting, he has traveled across the world, meeting, working with, and speaking to thousands of young people from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds. His work has taken him to international camps, leadership events, and youth gatherings where he encourages young people to lead with compassion, serve their communities, and believe in the power of their own voice.
Through public service, Scouting, education, and emergency response, Justin continues to work toward a future where young people are trusted, communities are strengthened, and service remains at the center of leadership.
