The 2012-2013 Youth Advisory Board just wrapped up their term, and what a year it was! These 13 teens joined the board in August and participated in a wide variety of events, connected as friends, learned about banking and nonprofits, and much more.
More than 35 applicants applied for the 11 open positions last fall. After completing an application, each candidate went through an extensive interview process. The resulting group became wonderful role models and ambassadors for Young Americans.
What does the Youth Board do?
Here’s a quick recap of the fun and unique things this group took part in this year:
- Welcome Reception and meeting each other for the first time
- Orientation Meeting to learn all about about Young Americans
- 25th Birthday Carnival
- Lessons in banking, fundraising, programs, credit and loans, and finance
- Communications and media training, including a trip to Channel 7 News for mock interviews with real news anchors
- Tour of Young Americans with the Greeley Cashe Bank and Trust Youth Board
- Volunteering and the Young Entrepreneurs Marketplace
- Holiday potluck

- Leadership Program of the Rockies Annual Conference
- State Treasurer’s visit
