National Youth Advisory Board

"This idea of the Souper Bowl of Caring is one that just, well, makes sense. It's not hard; it doesn't take time; and it is only one dollar. The question really isn't: 'Why am I involved in SBoC?' The question is: 'Why would I not be?'"

Sally Rausch - Souper Bowl of Caring Nation Youth Advisory Board 2009-2010

What is the National Youth Advisory Board?

The National Youth Advisory Board (NYAB) is comprised of 12 sophomores, juniors and seniors from across the nation. (Students applying for the 2010-2011 NYAB must be at least a high school sophomore in the fall of 2010 to be eligible.) Youth are selected through an application process.

We are currently reviewing applications for the 2010-2011 Board.
