The YAB has always been an integral part of YCC as our Founders believed that our services should be informed by the population we serve. In other words, the first step in addressing youth needs in our community is to hear directly from you!

The Youth Advisory Board is a diverse group of high school aged students, who live in or attend school in Lexington, MA. Members meet bi-weekly during their service year to discuss an array of topics including mental health and community engagement.

As part of the Youth Advisory Board, students will collaborate with Staff and Board members to inform agency policies, procedures, and outreach efforts by sharing their perspectives on current events and issues in the media. They will also conduct a service project of their choosing and volunteer alongside YCC in the community. LHS and MS students receive Community Service credit
