DESCRIPTION:The Teen Network Board (TNB) is a group of high school students who strive to:
- Strengthen teen voice in the community
- Provide a teen perspective on school and community issues
- Make a positive difference in Arlington
TNB members meet in committees to address specific issues such as drugs and alcohol prevention, positive peer relations, healthy intimate partner relationships, communications, and teen employment/ volunteer/ community service opportunities. They develop strategies on how to make changes in their community and implement the strategies in action through attending meetings, planning sessions, and giving presentations to the County Board and middle school youth; this includes other county government agencies and community groups.
MEMBERSHIP:General members of the Teen Network Board are not limited by number. They are allowed to participate in all general meetings and encouraged to join a subcommittee. They will work with all the members on projects and recommendations that the TNB undertakes. They will be eligible to run for a leadership position after a minimum of one year on the TNB.
