Welcome to our Youth Advisory Board page. As you can see, it's still under construction, but it will be up and fully running soon. In the meantime, feel free to watch this video of a kitten.
What is YAB?YVCKC's Youth Advisory Board is a group of 30 youth nominated each year for their hard work, enthusiasm, and commitment to YVC's service ethic. YABers get to lend their voice to YVCKC's decision-making process, helping decide on service-learning ideas and even choose the occasional project! During each monthly meeting we have a special topic of discussion and various learning opportunities. As with all of our regular projects, the youth get to know each other through ice breakers and team builders. After the meeting we have a project set up where they can then volunteer together!
