Girls Rock! DC’s Youth Advisory Board
At GR!DC we do all we can to make sure youth voices are heard, and for that, they need to be amplified.
The Youth Advisory Board (YAB) is a group of 5-10 teens that meet to strengthen their communication and leadership skills and make GR!DC more youth-driven. The program aims to give young folks a louder voice in deciding GR!DC’s priorities, direction, and major organizational decisions.
YOUTH ADVISORS ARE:
The Youth Advisory Board is a year-round leadership opportunity for GR!DC youth.
It is separate from the at-camp Youth Leadership Program, and youth are welcome to apply to both. YAB members DO NOT have to attend GR!DC Summer Camp (though it’s great if they do)!
This program is the first step in creating a permanent, year-round youth decision-making presence at Girls Rock! DC. It was formed to be a leadership body for GR!DC teens, but the exact scope of its work is defined by its members. First and foremost, the Youth Advisory Board will consult with the adult leaders to make decisions about GR!DC’s future priorities and actions.
If you have questions or want to apply to be a YAB member, email info@girlsrockdc.org.
