Youth Advisory Club
BEST Kids established a Youth Advisory Club (affectionately known as YAC) in 2017. The YAC serves the purpose of incorporating increased youth voice into the design and operations of our programming, while providing youth with leadership development training and skills. YAC members meet at least once a month and share ideas on how to better engage and work with mentees.
