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.

 

 

Description of the program:

The Youth Action & Advisory Council (YAAC) is a leadership opportunity for young women to utilize and further develop their leadership skills while being civically engaged in their communities.   YAAC participants are required to attend two monthly training meetings.  YAAC participants elect their youth advisory board consisting of: a chair, vice chair, communications officer and an LI Board of Directors YAAC representative.
