The YAB is an energetic squad of students aged fourteen to eighteen, representing different schools throughout the city, who have been an integral part of 826’s programs by acting as ambassadors to the schools and communities we serve. They meet twice a month to help with activities and planning, and to develop strategies for recruiting more students to take advantage of our free services.

The YAB:
• Organize and run youth-focused readings and events at 826.
• Support and attend fundraising events.
• Recruit high school students to attend our workshops, events, and activities.
• Support 826 Valencia’s tutors and interns during tutoring & workshops.
• Serve as liaisons to the community, schools, friends, and families.
• Offer presentations about 826 Valencia and the services we provide at their schools.
