ACLUNM Youth Advisory Board

I am here for Networking

About Me

The Youth Advisory, Activism, and Advocacy Board was founded in August 2005 by students from Albuquerque high schools. Its mission is to advise the ACLU-NM on youth outreach, participate in community activism to further the civil liberties of youth, and to advocate throughout New Mexico for the rights of youth. The YAB aims to foster thought and discussion among high school students on civil liberties issues.
