Join the 2019 STAY Project Steering Committee!
The STAY (Stay Together Appalachian Youth) Project is a diverse regional network of young people working together to create, advocate for, and participate in safe, sustainable, engaging and inclusive communities throughout Appalachia and beyond. The STAY Project focuses regionally on Central Appalachia and on youth-led initiatives to build skills, develop networks, and empower youth in Appalachia, especially youth of color, LGBTQ youth, and youth from low-income backgrounds through a diverse array of workshops at annual gatherings. Additionally, we partner with other organizations to connect STAY members with leadership opportunities, and host events and conversations throughout the year. The STAY Project seeks to reflect its membership in its selection of steering committee members.
