Who We Are

The Youth Master Plan is facilitated by the New Orleans Children and Youth Planning Board (CYPB), the New Orleans Youth Alliance (NOYA), and the Mayor's Office of Youth and Families (OYF) with co-direction and co-authorship by New Orleans youth, including the Youth Advisory Board of CYPB, the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council (MYAC), and NOYA Youth Leadership Fellows. The process is funded in part by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, and the City of New Orleans.

Meet the Youth Advisory Board of CYPB

 

The inaugural Youth Advisory Board of CYPB (2020) is a group of 22 young and talented New Orleanians who were recruited and selected to serve as advisers and ambassadors to the New Orleans Children and Youth Planning Board (CYPB) while leading the Youth Master Plan development process.

The Youth Advisory Board of CYPB convenes monthly for interactive trainings on topics like Positive Youth Development and Storytelling for Change, as well as planning and leading key Youth Master Plan activities. 

Committed to bringing their full selves and experiences into their leadership, the Youth Advisory Board works to amplify the collective voice of New Orleans youth to inspire, shape, and drive actionable change for all children, youth, and families in New Orleans.
