Join the UpStreet Youth Advisory Board
Help shape and strengthen our teen mental wellness programs!
What is UpStreet’s Youth Advisory Board?
UpStreet’s Youth Advisory Board empowers youth ages 12-22 to shape and strengthen our teen mental wellness programming through outreach, education, and event planning. Youth Advisory Board participants serve a one-year term, working collaboratively with their peers and our staff to ensure that UpStreet continues to reflect the needs of the youth it serves.
Why does UpStreet need a Youth Advisory Board?
