Youth voice is vital to the field of school-based health care in New Mexico. The NMASBHC Youth Health Advisory Group is a youth-led service group that gives New Mexican youth, age 14-21, the opportunity to share their expertise on important health topics, advocate for school-based health centers and services, advance health care access for their peers, cultivate knowledge about public health and health care and serve as a change agent by engaging in a service project in their community.
