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

The Teen Ambassador Board, 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 state and discuss issues affecting their lives, the statement said.

“This program allows Ohio teens to gain first-hand experience in law and government,” Yost said in the release. “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, seeks to develop leadership skills and wants to make a difference, according to the release.

Board members participate in small group projects, attend presentations, meet with Yost and interact with assistant attorneys general and elected officials, the release said.

The deadline for submitting applications is September 15, according to the release.

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. »
