Teen Board


Why Join

The goal of the KidZone Teen Board is to bridge the gap between the younger generation and the official KidZone Board. Members of the Teen Board will be given the opportunity to make a profound impact on their community through the development of new programs and the spread of creative and educational elements throughout the youth community in Tahoe. Members will have the freedom to do anything that will positively benefit the KidZone and the surrounding community. The Museum exhibits could use the help of creative and talented young minds to help make a greater appeal to the Museum's young audience.
