My Favorite thing about YAB is that everyone is super kind a supportive.

Current Activities & Projects
SPRING ’21 INITIATIVES
GIRL TALK
Girl Talk events were created to reimagine the idea of traditional girl talk and shift it towards a more informational and discussion-based conversation. Each Girl Talk event is going to exemplify a specific value that the Youth Advisory Board identifies with which are creativity, courage, commitment, conscientiousness, and the two we are discussing today: compassion and confidence.
