ALIVE Hanover Park's Teen Advisory Board
TAB is a working board and leadership program; they organize into committees to see programs and events through from conception to fruition. The staff at ALIVE supports the T.A.B. in their work with mentoring and guidance, but the teens are doing the majority of the work to see that their passions and ideas are realized. Our T.A.B. makes a real impact on the organization and on the community through their work and its members obtain real life leadership skills.
