The Childhelp Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) has brought together a group of young adults, aged 18-24, with diverse abilities, gender identities, and cultural backgrounds from across the United States to provide valuable input and feedback to hotline services. YAC members provide a voice about the most helpful ways Childhelp can reach and work with youth who have experienced maltreatment and/or trauma. Meet our members below and find out why they chose to join the Childhelp Youth Advisory Committee.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider divider_weight=”2px” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_divider][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#263e7d” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Through her experience working in the nonprofit development world for organizations such as Youth Centers and Homeless Shelters, she has gained a wide array of knowledge and information that she wanted to use to assist Childhelp in their mission to protect children from abuse. Lauren believes that early intervention is critical for victims in abusive circumstances, so through the Advisory Board, she can aid Childhelp in reviewing their crisis hotline system and the resources that they provide to youth. She thoroughly enjoys being a member of the Advisory Board and encourages others to get involved with their local organizations that work with youth to make a positive impact on their community.[/et_pb_team_member][et_pb_team_member name=”Amelia” position=”22 (She/Her)” image_url=”https://childhelphotline.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Amelia-150×150.png” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]I joined the YAC to help make sure that other kids who have been through hard things receive the best care possible when they come to Childhelp. I am intimately aware of the critical role Childhelp serves for maltreated youth, and I will be forever grateful to be able to give back to that mission.[/et_pb_team_member][et_pb_team_member name=”Tequilla” position=”23 (She/Her)” image_url=”https://childhelphotline.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Tequilla-150×150.png” icon_color=”#F3716D” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]I want to be a factor in helping existing resources for youth like Childhelp become more youth focused. I want to be a voice for the youth that feels like they aren’t being heard and bridge the connection between younger and the older generations. As a youth myself, I want to use my knowledge, experience, and resources to help guide organizations that help youth to be successful.[/et_pb_team_member][et_pb_team_member name=”Tabitha” image_url=”https://childhelphotline.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Tabitha-150×150.png” icon_color=”#F3716D” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]I joined because I have had experiences with being abused, and I wanted to be a part of something greater than myself, at the benefit of those who are most innocent and deserving of love.
