Youth Advisory Board
About the Youth Advisory Board
The Youth Advisory Board is a diverse group of high school aged students, who live in or attend school in Lexington, MA. Members meet biweekly during their service year to discuss an array of topics including mental health and community engagement.
As part of the Youth Advisory Board, students will collaborate with Staff and Board members to inform agency policies, procedures, and outreach efforts by sharing their perspectives on current events and issues in the media. They will also conduct a service project of their choosing and volunteer alongside YCC in the community.
ALL students receive Community Service credits (up to 20 hrs).
