​

We are looking for high school students to apply to our YAB. Anyone in Hillsborough County Public Schools can apply, but we encourage those who represent the geographic and ethnic diversity of the Tampa Bay area, and who care about making an impact and spreading awareness of sexual health services. We will build a team that is inclusive and respectful of the full range of sexual orientations and gender identities. All are welcome!
