Keep America Beautiful is now accepting applications for the 2018-2019 National Youth Advisory Council which provides an opportunity for 10 high school students (15-18 years old) from diverse backgrounds to participate in a service learning and leadership development program.
The deadline for applications is June 8.
The YAC members will provide an original point of view in assessing Keep America Beautiful programs, implement local service projects, and will act as ambassadors and leaders for youth service in their respective communities and states.
“Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful believes that our younger generation is the key to a cleaner more sustainable environment. I encourage Pennsylvania students to embrace this distinctive opportunity. The National Youth Advisory Council will provide a unique experience that can be transferred to other leadership opportunities in the future,” said Shannon Reiter, President of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, the state affiliate of Keep America Beautiful.
A student from Erie-- Elena Prenovitz-- served on the Council for two years (second from right in the photo).
The YAC is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Wrigley Company Foundation.
Applications must be submitted online. Selected Council Members will attend the 2018 Keep America Beautiful National Conference.
To apply and for all the details, visit the KAB National Youth Advisory Council webpage. Questions should be directed to Tom Morales, Keep America Beautiful, by sending email to: tmorales@kab.org or call 203-659-3044.
