AG Yost encourages high school student to apply for Teen Ambassador Board – Peak of Ohio

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost's office is accepting applications for Yost's Teen Ambassador Board (TAB) for the 2024-25 academic year.

TAB – which is designed for high school and high school students in public, private, charter and online schools across the state, including home-schooled students – provides young people with the opportunity to engage with government officials from the state and discuss issues that affect their lives.

“This program allows Ohio teens to gain first-hand experience in law and government,” Yost said. “This is a chance for our future leaders to make their voices heard and play an active role in shaping their communities.

Council members serve one-year terms, during which they meet twice in Columbus to collaborate and advise the Attorney General's Office on issues affecting adolescents.

The ideal candidate is a motivated and enthusiastic individual who is interested in law and government, looking to develop leadership skills, and who wants to make a difference.

Council members participate in small group projects, attend presentations, meet with Attorney General Yost, and interact with deputy attorneys general and elected officials.

The deadline for submitting applications – an application can be found HERE – is September 15, 2024.

Yost said, “Don’t miss this chance to be part of a dynamic group of young leaders and make a significant impact at the state of Ohio. »
