The Ohio Attorney General's Office is on the lookout for high school juniors and seniors ready to bring their A-game to the political table. With applications now open for the 2025-2026 Teen Ambassador Board, students across the Buckeye State have a chance to step into the halls of state government and have their voices heard on issues that matter to them.
As detailed in a news release from the Attorney General's Office, this isn't just any after-school club. The Teen Advisory Board opens its arms to students across a variety of educational backgrounds, including those in public, private, charter, online schools, and even home-schooled scholars. Eager to galvanize the next wave of civic leaders, the program aims to serve as a training ground while the students themselves grapple with the real-world issues that afflict their lives and communities. According to the release, Attorney General Yost stated, “Many of these young men and women are already established leaders in their schools and communities,” pointing out that “The Teen Ambassador Board can help them hone their leadership talents as they prepare for possible careers in public service,” according to the Ohio Attorney General's Office.
Ohio's initiative to integrate youthful perspective into the fabric of state government speaks volumes about the value placed on the opinions and insights of the teen demographic. Interested students have an ambitious deadline to meet, as the application period is already underway.
