Do you want to make a difference in youth mental health while building your leadership skills? Join NAMI Eastside's Youth Advisory Board (YAB) and help shape youth programs, advocacy efforts, and community outreach initiatives.

As a YAB member, you'll help guide our annual Youth Mental Health Conference (YMHC), contribute to educational programming, advocate for mental health at the local and state levels, and serve as a voice for youth in our community. This is a great opportunity to develop leadership experience, connect with like-minded peers, and create meaningful change.
