Teen Advisory Board (TAB)
TAB is comprised of local teens representing five area high schools. We are looking for enthusiastic students to join our team for the 2026/2027 school year. The board meets monthly to plan and execute community and school events to support teen mental wellness.
We are currently accepting TAB applications. If you know of a teen (or are a teen!) that would be interested, apply here. Not sure? Join us at our next meeting. Bring a friend and find out what TAB is all about!
Upcoming TAB Events:
Teen Table Talk
This group is a teen lead discussion, TAB assisted and overseen by an in house Social Worker Intern. The group meets at Downers Grove Public Library, monthly, the third Tuesday at 6pm. Drop ins are welcome!

I joined Grit2TAB was because I wanted to be a part of something larger than myself- something that truly impacts teens and our community. Mental awareness is so important to me, especially as it continues to be a growing issues in teenagers. I believe it’s important to be able to help others and ourselves. Mental health is just as important as physical health and can at times be overlooked. Awareness for mental health is growing and I want to be apart of that growth. grit2 TAB does a great job at impacting and continuing to be a platform for awareness which is needed in every community, including our own. And seeing the impact we have really builds character for not just me but for everyone who shares the same passion.
