The AFA Teens Advisory Board offers teenagers an opportunity to build strong leadership skills, offer insight to AFA about the needs of teenagers as they relate to Alzheimer’s disease, help steer the future direction of AFA Teens—and give back even more to the Alzheimer's community.

Participation as an advisory board member may include growing AFA Teens’ presence on social networking sites, writing a guest blog and responding to posts on the AFA Teens Web site, conceiving of and planning AFA Teens events, developing ideas for AFA Teens chapters and recruiting new chapter presidents.

AFA asks for a commitment of two hours per month for written and phone correspondence, including a quarterly phone conference call with other advisory board members, for a term of one year.

Check back next fall to apply for the 2011 advisory board.
