Youth Advisory Board was created for eligible youth to have the opportunity to work together with other interested youth and adults to educate the community about issues of youth in out-of-home placement, improve the child welfare system through problem solving, promote independent living through training, and bridge the gap between youth and adults. The board includes current and former DHS and tribal custody youth, and Children and Family Services Division (CFSD) and adult advisors. Members of the board meet four times per year. Task force groups meet on an as needed basis. • 1 through 3
