Youth Advisory Committee - For Brisbane Youth Ages 12-18

The Brisbane Parks & Recreation Department is actively seeking dedicated, enthusiastic, and motivated teens to join the Youth Advisory Committee (YAC). Committee members have the important duty of advising the Parks & Recreation Commission and Recreation staff on the programs and issues that concern the youth and teens in the Brisbane community. This is a great way to get involved in your community and make a difference. YAC members will also participate in the annual YAC Attack event through the California Parks & Recreation Society. YAC Attack is a one day educational leadership conference for YAC members from all over Northern California. Applications will be reviewed as they are received by YAC Advisor, Sara Nahass Lopez. Once a committee is established, meetings will be scheduled on Wednesday evenings once per month. For additional information, please contact Sara at snahass@brisbaneca.org.
