• Between now and October, please send details regarding local initiatives that you/your YAB have been involved in….

• These insights will be compiled into a Toolkit for Current and Future Youth Advisory Boards.

• During our October meeting, youth representatives will come prepared to share the how-to of different activities from their county.

• The goal is for each board to leave with a notebook of ideas from one another bring back to their county and consider trying as part of their YAB.
