Searching for Students: Youth in Action for Broadband

Do you have a student that loves technology? Someone who likes to talk about new products, security and encryption, driverless cars and reliable broadband in schools? 

The Iowa Communications Network (ICN) has a wonderful opportunity for your technology savvy student!

The ICN is looking for 10th-12th grade students with powerful voices to share their perspectives on technology and broadband. Applications are now being accepted by April 11 for the Statewide Youth Broadband Advisory Council (SYBAC) for the 2016-2017 school year.

The SYBAC will be made up of 11 young leaders from across Iowa who will identify effective strategies to improve broadband connectivity and community environments, which could assist in advocacy efforts for rural Internet connectivity.

To apply for the Council, students can visit the SYBAC website or contact Lori Larsen at lori.larsen@iowa.gov.
