MOPOP’s Youth Advisory Board (we call it the YAB) gives you a voice in teen programming at the museum and an opportunity to help Northwest arts and culture thrive. You’ll collaborate with local musicians, artists, community groups, and other teens while doing collaborative projects with MOPOP staff. Arts, music, and pop culture? Not a bad way to rack up some community service hours.
Applications have now closed. Stay tuned for next year's YAB applications!
