What is the Teen Advisory Council?

In high schools throughout the U.S., teens and their peers share information they come across from various sources, whether truthful or false. As a result, UNITY is constantly seeking advice from teens to help us succeed in our mission to improve teen health through proper education regarding vaccination.

 

Participants take part in group phone conversations (virtual meetings) every 2 – 3 months over a committed one-year period to help UNITY create effective programs and messaging about health information to teens across the U.S.

Why Participate?

When so many health decisions are influenced by peers and information they share, it is important that everyone has access to the best sources of knowledge. Together, through meaningful discussion and collaborative efforts, we aim to:
