Youth Advisory Board

What is the Youth Advisory Board?

The Youth Advisory Board (YAB) is a nationwide program that provides students with the resources and tools to be advocates for themselves and champions for their communities. YAB members (yabbies, for short) form strong bonds with their peers and mentors, attend a week-long leadership retreat, and spearhead service projects like food banks, clothing drives, and neighborhood clean-ups.
