Calling all youth ages 15–22 in Wayne and Washtenaw Counties! Looking for an opportunity to make your voice heard, build leadership skills, and help shape the future of adolescent healthcare? This could be for you.
REACH is a youth advisory council committed to helping shape healthcare programs and resources with youth perspectives, in the spirit of “nothing about us, without us.” REACH aims to increase leadership skills and professional development for youth, increase knowledge of youth needs in healthcare settings, and integrate youth perspectives into AHI initiatives. REACH members participate in a Youth Driven Project (YDP) and support AHI events such as the Annual Conference and Connection Sessions. AHI relies on REACH to inform its programs, help plan and execute AHI events, and develop new projects that integrate youth voice into adolescent health care.
No previous healthcare, advocacy, or leadership experience is required; we really value lived experiences and a willingness to learn!
Applications are open now and will close Friday, August 14, 2026.
Eligible youth are:
15 to 22 years old
Wayne or Washtenaw County residents
Passionate about youth advocacy or willing to learn
