The Aspen Effect is proud to have our very own adult-mentored Teen Advisory Board who counsel us on how to improve our youth programming. They also volunteer for other programs we run and help us promote our services in the community. Once we receive all youth applications, our senior youth leaders will contact the applicants, learn more about their desire to join and ability to lead, and make a decision on the final board. Only twelve high school teens are chosen each school year to serve The Aspen Effect and as a critical youth voice in Douglas County for local schools, civic leaders and organizations that focus on youth mental health. No fee required. Donations welcomed! Priority given to youth demonstrating strong commitment.
