Youth Advisory Board

 

Youth in Transition and Youth Development Program that are both housed at Northeast Kingdom Youth Services have joined together the other to combine ideas. The group will work together to write and submit grants and who also put together the Youth Town Meeting, make food for First Night, attend leadership activities and help to get their voice out in the community. The council meets every other Monday and is working on the following idea:

 

·         Incorporate a big brother/big sister program in this area

·         Youth educate youth on life experiences

·         Improve relationships between youth in care and their social workers

·         More activities in the area that include youth of all ages, status, and abilities

·         Increase awareness of abuse and more support for families

·         Help with policy changes at DCF

·         Educate public where to go for services/support

·         Recruit more youth to the Youth Advisory Board
