Application process open for Henrico Too Smart 2 Start's Youth Ambassador Street Team

Henrico Prevention Services and the Henrico Too Smart 2 Start Coalition are accepting applications for the Youth Ambassador Street Team, a leadership opportunity for high school students.

As part of the nationally recognized Youth Ambassadors program, YAST members are the boots on the ground, working alongside community leaders to create healthier, safer spaces for their peers. Through this program, teens will:

• build leadership and public speaking skills;
 • gain hands-on community service and advocacy experience;
• network with local and state leaders;
• earn professional development and job readiness training;
• participate in events like Sticker Shock, General Assembly visits, Capitol Hill visits and out of the area state and national leadership training conferences

The organizations are encouraging Henrico County high school students who want to use their voices, lead by example, and take action on issues affecting youth in their community to apply.
