On February 20, 2009, two of our youth were elected to positions in the Statewide Youth Advisory Board OHIO (Overcoming Hurdles In Ohio). This is a huge opportunity to have the needs and voices of Southeast Ohio foster youth represented at a state level. This will also allow our youth to participate in various trainings, panels, and conferences throughout the state, and possibly the country.
Elizabeth was elected parliamentarian. Elizabeth has been attending the YAB meetings for two years, and has run for offices in the past. Elizabeth's energy and hard work have finally paid off.
Traci was elected as treasurer for YAB. This was Traci's first meeting. She prepared a great speech and presented in front of people she had never met before.
Both Elizabeth and Traci attended the 2nd Annual IL Summit in October, and are also founding members of the our local youth advisory board, ACTION (Athens County Together In Overcoming Negatives).
