Youth advisory boards are critical for ensuring public health projects that impact youth are relevant to this population, but there is limited guidance on how to form and sustain them.
This training/workshop will be led by Baltimore youth organization HeartSmiles, providing BSPH staff, students and faculty with guidance to feel empowered to form their own youth advisory boards. This workshop provides a unique opportunity to learn directly from Baltimore youth leaders on how public health work can better center youth expertise.
Lunch included.

About HeartSmiles
Born from the pain and heartache of the Freddie Gray riots, HeartSmiles is all about providing youth from underserved communities with real opportunities to succeed in life. We know that too many forgotten neighborhoods are over-run with drug addiction, crime, prostitution and low expectations for life. Not only do we provide hope for youth who want to rise above their circumstances, we provide caring mentorship, leadership skill building, access to internships, careers and more.
