Your commitment

Our expectation is that new Youth Board members will commit to sit on the board for one year, with potential to opt in again after this time.

During the year you will attend four Youth Board Meetings.

You may be asked to represent the AAT at occasional events, or attend other meetings where the input of the Youth Board is requested. (You will only be asked to attend in-person events if this is safe and practical and you feel comfortable to do so.)

We estimate a maximum total commitment of 2-3 hours a quarter.

Please confirm that you are happy with this level of commitment

I am happy to commit to 2-3 hours of engagement a quarter, including attending all four Youth Board meetings
