We're excited to honor this year's Outstanding Youth Advocates: Buffalo County Youth Advisory Board

The Buffalo County YAB brings together 25 student leaders from across Buffalo County to identify challenges facing young people and advocate for solutions that improve health and well-being for all students.

By reviewing student health data, elevating youth perspectives, and engaging directly in the legislative process, YAB is creating meaningful change in their communities. Their advocacy has helped advance policies that strengthen mental health crisis response systems and support early intervention for youth experiencing trauma, neglect, or instability.

Get tickets to celebrate the Buffalo County YAB with us on September 10, or make a donation in their honor at the link in the comments.
