What is a YAB?

It's the Teens Alone Youth Advisory Board!

Application

Teens Alone (TA) is a free and confidential counseling service for Eden Prairie, Hopkins, Orono, St. Louis Park, and Wayzata middle, junior, and senior high school students (and their parents).

YAB was formed as a way to for teens to tell other teens about this service. The primary responsibilities of the YAB are to:

organize an annual Battle of the Bands, which is a competition of bands from each of the five high school Teens Alone serves
make sure TA posters and cards are in schools and area businesses
find opportunities for counselor speaking engagements (e.g. school flex times, church groups, etc.)
use school newspapers, announcements, and other local media to help "get the TA word out"
be creative!

We need four or five enthusiastic high school students from each of our five high schools who want to perform community service by serving on Teens Alone's YAB. (The time commitment should not exceed 3 hours per month).

Music lovers (to help with Battle of the Bands participants)
Journalists and writers (to help get the message out)
Speakers (to talk to classes and organizations)
Doers (who follow through!)
Teens who want to have fun!
