KQED is looking for high school students who want to join the broadcaster’s new Youth Advisory Board.

The board will meet every other week throughout the 2016-2017 school year to hear pitches from KQED staff, discuss how to improve media use in the classroom and provide feedback on KQED media and educational tools.

It’s an opportunity to meet other teens, learn more about media and help KQED improve its programming.

The board is open to Bay Area students in grades 9-12. Participants will be compensated with a $400 gift card.

The application deadline is Sept. 30, 2016. CLICK HERE to apply.
