What is YAC?
Healthy Futures of Texas is a San Antonio based non-partisan non-profit working to reduce teen and unplanned pregnancy by providing health education to parents and young people. The Youth Advocacy Council (YAC), a project of Healthy Futures, empowers San Antonio area teens to become leaders of the sexual health movement and policy change by educating, training, and providing a platform for them to use their voice.
Why Advocacy?
To advocate is to support a cause - the Youth Advocacy Council supports sexual health education and access to preventive healthcare for all. Teens are stakeholders in these issues because education and healthcare have a direct effect on teen health and livelihood. Due to this, YAC works to:
     - Bring awareness to challenges regarding teen sexual health
     - Gain support for medically accurate information and science-based approaches to sex ed
     - Increase access to teen-friendly healthcare
     - Share information and power with other young people

     - Be enrolled in high school, GED program, technical school, or homeschool grades 9-12
     - Complete the YAC application

     - Complete an in-person interview
     - Be willing and able to commit to at least 60% of the general meetings
