The OHIO Youth Advisory Board wants young people in each of Ohio’s 88 counties to have opportunities to have a voice. Young people throughout Ohio need and deserve leadership opportunities.  

While not every Ohio county has a local or regional Youth Advisory Board, youth from the following counties have participated in one or more recent OHIO YAB statewide events and/or quarterly meetings.

If you would like to host a Youth Leadership Retreat in your county, please contact lisa@fosteractionohio.org

Here is a sample agenda of the retreats that we facilitate.
Here are sample ballots which we use for statewide officer elections.
The OHIO YAB provides toolkits for existing YABs, with specific instructions.
