Program Overview
WHAT IS YAB?
YAB is a school-year program designed for high school students. These students use their voice to advise Coyote on policy, hiring, and programs. They also design and lead community-serving projects of their own.
WHO IS YAB FOR?
YAB is for Coyote students who have aged out of classes, but who still want to be involved at Coyote and help it grow! Our Youth Advisors care deeply about our community, the local political landscape, and shaping a more just and sustainable world.
