Provincial Practice & Policy Advisory Board
Who are we?
The Provincial Practice and Policy Advisory Board (PAB) is composed of community partners across the province of British Columbia who share interest and concern over youth well-being. The role of the PAB is to advise the CHART lab team about the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the results of the Youth Development Instrument (YDI) survey and other projects. Every member of the PAB brings a wealth of experience and advice to the YDI and ensures that there are many voices involved in the development and evaluation of the survey.
PAB members come from diverse backgrounds and offer perspectives from school districts, government ministries, non-profit organizations, and research institutions.
