Youth
Advisory Board Reaches the Community
In August of 2006, Huck House created a
Youth Advisory Board to expand the awareness of teens
needing support. The role of the youth board will be to
establish a voice for youth while analyzing critical
issues dealing with teenagers. The group will not only
work on projects that will educate the community on
these issues, but also be a huge factor in the
directions that the Huck House Community Education
Program moves toward. One of the main issues the group
will focus on is runaway prevention and how to disperse
that information to schools and communities.
The Huck House Youth Advisory Board
currently includes seven members ranging in ages from 12
to 22. The Board is looking for additional members.
For anyone interested, contact Kyra Crockett, Community
Education Coordinator at 614-298-4104 or
kcrockett@huck-house.org.
