I understand that my appointment to the Teen Advisory Council is not only an honor but also a responsibility. As a member, I will work toward achieving the Council’s goals:

To identify problems teenagers are facing
To suggest solutions to these problems
To work toward solving these problems
To represent a cross-section of diverse interests and activities
To increase awareness of youth issues in the adult community
To impact the adult community by showing that teens can be a source of solutions
To gain leadership experience
To be involved in meaningful community service projects
To develop friendships and contacts from other area high schools
To live a tobacco-, drug-, and alcohol-free life
To complete my assigned requirements as listed in the TAC bylaws

In addition, I will attend all TAC trainings, meetings & special events, work on Council projects, serve on selected committees, and be a spokesperson for Youth Resources and its efforts to involve young people in meaningful community service, leadership development & civic experiences.

Finally, I realize that if I have more than two absences from Council meetings during a semester and/or participate in fewer than the required community service hours, shadowing meetings and/or social events determined by the Council, I will lose my eligibility to continue as a Council member unless I am reinstated by the Teen Advisory Council’s Executive Committee after completing the appeal process as set forth in the TAC bylaws.
