1. Identify community problems & discuss solutions
2. Screen Make A Difference Grant proposals
3. Develop leadership skills
4. Plan community events
5. Create a network of peer and adult friends from Vanderburgh & Warrick Counties
6. Serve the community
7. Have fun!

TAC members also have the unique opportunity to interact with community leaders Including Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel, Vanderburgh County Sheriff Eric Williams, Evansville City Council members, Vanderburgh County Commissioners, E-VSC School Board members, business and nonprofit executives, and other adult mentors dedicated to improving our community.

Serving on the Teen Advisory Council prepares youth for the challenges they will face in the future as college students, employees, employers and volunteers while encouraging them to be a positive force in our community today.
