The Institute believes that the voices and input of learners are critical to the successful implementation of personalized learning. To that end, we have a Youth Advisory Council (YAC) comprised of students from member districts. Council members meet a minimum of six times throughout the school year.

Member activities/benefits include:

• Having a voice in an evolving educational model
• Leadership and communications skill development
• Networking opportunities
• Participation in the National Convening on Personalized Learning
• Strengthening personal success skills such as creativity, collaboration and problem-solving
