The Youth Action Board

The Youth Action Board (YAB) is a committee of the LA BOSCOC composed of 3-8 members between the ages of 16 and 24 with lived experienced of homelessness. The YAB uses their expertise to be an agent of change, providing impactful feedback to the CoC on policies and actions that impact youth. The YAB aspires to use their stories to inform the public about the realities of youth homelessness and to inspire other young people in Louisiana.

If you are interested in joining the YAB, please email Andrew Dietz (adietz@lhc.la.gov) or Amea Smith (amea.smith@youthoasis.org).
