A board consists of individuals who can actually make decisions, especially financial ones, and therefore, adults sit on boards and govern the organizations. However, there are instances where a board would opt to have an advisory team that properly represents the demographics of their targeted audience, children.

Just recently an example of this was seen as The Shade Tree in Las Vegas, NV had a team of children design the look of the new playground. This is a very effective method when the board needs to be very specific about an activity or program.

Don’t discount your small constituents. Their voices are just as important as anyone else’s.
