The Mayor’s Youth Advisory Board (MYAB) was established in 2000 to provide a voice for youth in our community. This ad–hoc committee consists of 30 members from Beaverton area high schools. MYAB members are students at Aloha, Arts and Communication, Beaverton, Catlin Gabel, International School of Beaverton, Jesuit, School of Science and Technology, Southridge, Sunset, and Westview high schools. Students are selected by the Mayor to serve on the Board for a two (2) year term through an open application process.
MYAB reports to the Mayor and City Council on issues of concern to youth. MYAB’s mission is to serve the common good of the community and provide a voice for youth in decisions and policies of the City. MYAB focuses on community service projects, promoting youth activism and youth involvement.
MYAB has four (4) elected officers. The two co-chairs this year are Elizabeth Eickelberg, a senior at Sunset High School, and Trent Martin, a junior at Aloha High School. The vice-chair is Priyanka Vachhani, a senior at Westview High School and the secretary is Crystal Shatzer, a senior at Aloha High School. This year’s historian is Jordan Drake, a sophomore at Southridge High School.
