Youth Advisory Board

The Voice. The Future. The Change.

At Village of Hope LA, we believe that young people are not just the future—they’re leaders right now. That’s why we created the Youth Advisory Board: a team of bold, brilliant, and purpose-driven youth who help shape the vision, voice, and impact of our programs.

Our Youth Advisory Board is made up of students and young adults who represent the heart of our mission. They bring fresh ideas, lived experiences, and honest perspectives to the table. Whether it’s planning events, giving feedback on programming, or speaking out on issues that matter, they are active decision-makers—not just participants.

These young leaders are rising up to create real change in their schools, communities, and families. With guidance from our mentors and staff, they are learning to lead with integrity, use their voices for good, and become the hope their generation needs.

“Young people don’t need to be told they’re the future. They need to be trusted to lead today.”
