  • help with the selection of Do Something grant winners
  • reviewing the word choice(s), celebrity targets, and website content

YAC members connect via annual in-person meetings and monthly conference calls in addition to ongoing e-mail correspondence. YACers make themselves available to advise on relevant issues.

    Do Something is so awesome, and the Youth Advisory Council is such a great program! I just graduated from high school, so sadly I can’t apply because they don’t let you apply after you graduate. But I saw on Twitter that Emily-Anne applied! I definitely hope they accept her. She would be perfect for the YAC! I’m glad you’re encouraging teens to join, Debbie. This is great 🙂

    Oops! I just realized this post is from last year. LOL, my mistake. I googled “Do Something Youth Advisory Council” and your Smart Girls Know blog came up! So of course I had to read it. But what my eyes missed was that this was posted last year! Silly me :p
