Joy Peck Grainger, Youth Advisory Board Member 1992-1993:

I was honored to serve on the Youth Advisory Board…and attribute much of my later success professionally to the foundation laid by the experience there. I wouldn’t be a US Diplomat serving in India today without the role models (Linda Childears!) I met through the Young Americans Bank…I strongly encourage teens to apply; you won’t regret it!

How do I become a member of the Youth Advisory Board?
