Youth Advisory Board
Help us amplify youth voices and perspectives.
Making Caring Common’s Youth Advisory Board is a diverse group of high school students from across the country who are committed to making schools more caring and respectful places through everyday interactions. Members guide our understanding of and help devise solutions to the most pressing moral issues and social challenges of their peer groups, such as bullying and exclusion. They provide feedback on our ideas, share their thoughts on current events, and make sure we’re on the right track when communicating information to young people.
We are looking for young people with the following characteristics:
Passion for making their school and community more kind and inclusive
Creativity about ways to connect with young people
Ability to inspire other youth and adults to action
Excellent communication and organization skills
Demonstrated commitment to the following values: caring, responsibility toward others, and justice
