Nassau County Youth Board
YAPP provides teens, ages 14-19, with the opportunity to meet other
students and youth from across Nassau County in order to share their views
on the many issues that effect young people. The combination of leadership
training and community service YAPP volunteers experience is what many
employers and colleges are looking for; but most importantly, youth
experience the success of being able to make a difference in their lives and
in their communities. Youth are trained to FACILITATE, PLAN TRAININGS, to
serve as LEADERS and ROLE MODELS, as well as MEDIATORS… in addition to
planning and facilitating trainings and community service learning activity
committees. Training sessions take place in a group setting and help
develop communication, interaction skills and access to many resources
that are available within the community. Most importantly, YAPP trainings
develop an awareness of issues that affect young people across Nassau
County. Past trainings have included topics such as: leadership,
appreciating diversity, sexuality, and the list goes on. Each year, training
changes based upon the input of the previous year’s participants. Once
youth are accepted into YAPP, it becomes their program! Second and third
year members are responsible for evaluating, designing and implementing
YAPP. In addition, members also serve on a committee that designs and
implements training for schools and community agencies. Caucus members
volunteer in their schools and in community-based organizations. Through
the combination of leadership training and community service, YAPP
volunteers’ experience is what many employers and colleges are looking for.
