Youth Advisory & Action Council!!
We’re looking for 11th and 12th grade Latina Youth to be part of our Youth Action and Advisory Council (YAAC). Students will be required to attend two monthly meetings (approximate monthly time commitment will be 5-6 hours).
YAAC provides young Latinas an opportunity to develop their leadership capacity so that they are better prepared to have a voice in their education, personal and civic lives. YAAC is comprised of junior and senior Latina students from different high schools in the Denver Metro Area. By engaging participants at a critical time prior to their expected high school graduation, they receive a broader scope of experiences that can positively influence the choices they make in pursuing a higher education. The council provides a leadership opportunity to utilize and further develop their professional skills while being civically active.
