Teens as Teachers Advisory Council

 NC State Extension Specialist Dr. Maru Gonzalez and her team are developing a new curriculum and are seeking youth from counties across the state to serve as advisors in its creation and implementation.

The Teens as Teachers Advisory Council will help shape Youth Voices into Action, a new storytelling and civic engagement curriculum designed for North Carolina youth. Council members will play an important role in ensuring the curriculum is engaging, meaningful, and relevant to youth.

Youth Advisory Council members will:

• Provide feedback on the curriculum, using guiding prompts to make the process clear and simple. 
• Share insights and ideas for strengthening lesson activities and resources. 

 

Council members are expected to:

• Review curriculum content provided throughout the advisory period.
• Attend up to two virtual council meetings, where members will discuss ideas, offer suggestions, and reflect on the curriculum.
• Complete short reflection or feedback tasks as requested, using the provided guided prompts.

 

Compensation:

• Each Youth Advisory Council member will receive a $200 stipend upon completion of expectations.
