Teen Advi­so­ry Board

The Teen Advi­so­ry Board (TAB) pro­vides oppor­tu­ni­ties for DeKalb Coun­ty teens (ages 14 to 18 years) to enhance their lead­er­ship skills and to make an impact in their com­mu­ni­ty by plan­ning and imple­ment­ing a teen-relat­ed project or pro­gram. TAB mem­bers are required to attend and active­ly par­tic­i­pate in month­ly meet­ings. Mem­bers will receive vol­un­teer hours for attendance.
