About this Event

Voices of the Future: Youth Board in Your Library

Come join us North Regional Library for an exciting event where young voices will be heard! The Youth Advisory Board (YAB), is a youth-led group that works directly with Hennepin County’s Juvenile Justice System. We are currently seeking to fill our group with individuals aged 15-25 that have lived experience in the juvenile justice system.

This is your chance to use your voice and experiences to create positive change for youth affected by the system. Enjoy benefits like $25/hr, transportation to meetings, and food provided at every gathering. This library recruitment tour is a great opportunity for community members to meet our group, apply on the spot, and learn more about how you can help shape the future of those impacted by the juvenile justice system.
