YAB Leadership Cohort - Vice Chair

The Memphis Youth Action Board (YAB) is a coalition of youth and young adults ages 18-24 committed to advocating for and working to end youth homelessness within Memphis and Shelby County. The YAB Leadership Cohort is a 1-year professional development and leadership position designed to inspire young people to assume positions of leadership, receive specialized training, and develop professional skills that will support their personal and career growth. As a Leadership Cohort member, you will work alongside four other cohort members to spearhead activities and projects that further the YAB’s mission and goals. As a Leadership Cohort member, you will also receive training to become a certified Peer Support Specialist and will spend approximately half of your working hours providing group and individual peer support to youth and young adults at risk of or currently experiencing housing insecurity and/or homelessness. The Vice Chair Leadership Cohort Position specifically supports the YAB Chair in their duties and acts as a backup leader in their absence.
