Youth Advisory Board (YAB)
The EPRD Youth Advisory Board (YAB) is a youth engagement strategy used to positively incorporate youth voices and help build the capacity of youth participants. This program was designed to provide young people the opportunity to directly support program processes and outcomes in ways that contribute to sustainability and scale, while also building on the skills and scope of knowledge of young people themselves.
The YAB consists of two (2) high school age students that serve as an extension of the EPRD Board of Directors. They work closely with the Board and Staff in and outside of Board Meetings to provide insights and feedback on program design, implementation, and evaluation; help define outcomes that are relevant to young peoples’ needs; and compliment or deepen existing youth engagement strategies. As a YAB member, individuals will develop their leadership skills, learn about the processes and structures within government entities, and utilize their passions within parks and recreation to engage with the local community in ways that make a difference in both the present and the future.
