Youth Advisory Board

MOCA's Youth Advisory Board (YAB) is comprised of a group of committed New York City teens who want to engage with Chinese American history, have a voice in their community, and develop teen programs and activities at the Museum.  Weekly workshops provide an out-of-classroom learning experience where students are thinking creatively, building leadership skills, practicing public speaking, and documenting their experiences through multi media technology.
