Youth Community Advisory Board

Dakota Child and Family Clinic was awarded a Family Planning Special Projects (FPSP) grant from the Minnesota Department of Health. This grant will be used to fund family planning programs for youth, specifically with a focus on sexual health education.

We are currently taking applications to join the Youth Community Advisory Board (CAB) beginning Fall 2023. The CAB is a group of youth/young adults (ages 13 to 24 years old) who will advise DCFC in the development of sexual health educational materials and ensure resource accessibility for underserved communities such as BIPOC youth/young adults as well as those who identify as neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+ and Two-Spirit. Board members can earn up to $100 in gift cards. All CAB meetings will be held virtually. Applicant(s) must have access to a working device and internet to participate in the meetings.

If you have questions regarding the CAB, please contact the Program Coordinator, Amirillis Vang at amirillis@dakotachildandfamily.org
