National Youth Advisory Board

What is the National Youth Advisory Board?

The National Youth Advisory Board (NYAB) is comprised of 15-20 sophomores, juniors and seniors from across the nation. (Students applying for the 2010-2012 NYAB must be at least a high school sophomore in the fall of 2010 to be eligible.) Youth are selected each spring through an application process.

The 2010-2012 NYAB will be selected through an application process available in April 2010. If you’d like to be contacted when the 2010-2012 application is posted online, please click here.

Souper Bowl of Caring is also starting a National Student Alliance as an extension of the NYAB. This will be open to students elementary through college as a way to gain leadership experience through Souper Bowl of Caring. Details will be posted soon.
