Teen Outback Board Members

Our Board of Directors is composed of 16 volunteer members who donate their time — not only to our monthly meetings, but also to the youth events that are offered to all area youth each month. Their dedication and enthusiasm drives our mission of providing a safe place for all of our area youth.
