YEB
The Youth Executive Board (YEB) is a multi-district group of high school students who meet bi-weekly to learn how to use their leadership and power as youth to influence change in our communities. Members learn about social and political advocacy, create yearlong service-learning projects to address the opportunity gap, demonstrate positive leadership by advocating for important and relevant issues to today’s society, and connect with their peers across the StoryArk collaborative.

Core Values:
