We’re so excited to announce we’re now accepting applications for our 2027-2028 Youth Advisory Board cohort! Are you a young person between the ages of 15 to 24 who is eager to get involved in your community and beyond, or know someone who is? Then keep reading to learn more!
Since our founding nearly 15 years ago, Born This Way Foundation has always been shaped and guided by young people, and our Youth Advisory Board members play a key role in helping us carry out research, programs, and campaigns that are central to our mission. Youth Advisory Board members also serve as ambassadors for our work in their communities and beyond.
While we welcome applicants from around the globe, we will also be specifically looking for applicants from the following countries: Brazil, Canada, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Want to know more about the experience? Learn from a few of our current Youth Advisors directly.
Need more information? We also encourage you to attend a 60-minute information session, where you’ll be able to ask any questions you may have about the program and also ask a current Youth Advisory Board member questions about their experience. Please RSVP for only one session, as spots are limited. We’ve decided not to record these sessions, but instead to hold two additional sessions.
Info Session 1 will be held August 25, 2026 at 11 AM ET (Session Full)
Newly added: Info Session 2 will be held September 1, 2026 at 11 AM ET (RSVP here!)
Newly added: Info Session 3 will be held September 9, 2026 at 7pm ET (RSVP here!)

We can’t wait to learn more about you, your ideas, and how you hope to build a kinder, braver world.
