FAIR OAKS YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD

The Fair Oaks Youth Advisory Board (FOYAB) was established in 2000 to act in an advisory capacity, providing the Fair Oaks Recreation & Park District with valuable insight regarding youth and teen issues in our community. Since its inception, the Youth Advisory Board has accomplished several goals in an effort to better serve their peers. One such goal for the Youth Advisory Board was to raise funds in an effort to provide an annual Holiday dinner for disadvantaged families in Fair Oaks.
