Are you 18-23, currently system involved, or have you transitioned out of the system? Do you have something to say? Apply to join our Youth Action Board!
The Youth Action Board (YAB), is a youth-led collective that aims to amplify the voices of older youth (ages 18-23) who have experienced the foster system. Together, our mission is to evoke change and bring awareness to the issues older youth face as they transition out of the system.
The YAB advocates for:
-Raising awareness for youth and connecting them with important services;
-Dismantling systemic injustice and improving legal representation;
-Encouraging services that are culturally aware, trauma informed, and courteous;
-Conflict resolution and effective communication; and
-Promoting leadership, story telling, and uplifting
The YAB will campaign, organize, and advise on issues strictly impacting Older Youth in child-serving systems. This group will guide how to better serve and represent youth in ways that respect their agency.
This is an opportunity for you to be heard and to be at the forefront of making a difference! Apply to be a part of the Youth Action Board!
