Youth Advisory Board

Youth Advisory Board members engaged in discussion seated in a room with framed photos on the wall.

Are you a teen with strong opinions about music, art, and pop culture? The MOPOP Youth Advisory Board, also known as the YAB, is your chance to shape what the Museum of Pop Culture looks like for your generation.

Students between the ages of 15 and 18 can apply to YAB and may serve for up to three years.

YAB members don't just visit the museum. They help run it. You'll work alongside local musicians, artists, and curators to develop exhibitions, promote events, and bring your ideas into the actual building. That includes Sound Off!, MOPOP's music showcase and 21-and-under artist development program, along with hands-on projects where your input directly influences what gets made.

Applications are now open and will close July 26. Mark your calendar, set your reminders, and tell the group chat.

"Being in YAB has changed my perspective on how I can impact my community...It's inspired me to do other things that I think can make a difference, because I know that I can."
