Create a Listening To Youth Advisory Board

Listening To Youth

Listening To Youth (LTY) is a program developed by state coalitions in Illinois predicated on the principle that Youth should have a voice in their community to change things! LTY can help to make that happen by providing a structure to create Advisory Boards to address concerns, raise issues, learn-discuss-critique options, and as appropriate, take action! This is NOT a club, but a group that can be created inside a school, within a community organization/non-profit or even a city/county government body. LTY is a system designed to give youth agency to advocate and advise others in their community as well as their peers. Learn from an existing LTY board on how you can launch a Listening To Youth Advisory board in your community space!
