Teen Website
Staff updated YAC members on the teen website and sought ideas on how to increase the number of visits
to the site. YAC members discussed distributing stickers, t-shirts, flyers, handouts, and pencils as a means
to spread awareness of the existence of the site. It was also suggested that the teen website be promoted
during monthly lunch activities at Dublin High School. YAC members discussed the numerous radio
stations, such as 101.7 KKIQ, that could be used to promote the site, and suggested that the website be
advertised on other websites. As for the content of the website, YAC members gave a few ideas on how to
improve the quality and quantity of the material posted. It was proposed that members approach local
businesses to ask if they are willing to be included in the website for teenagers seeking part-time jobs.
Also, YAC could post articles from the Dublin High School newsletter on the website in addition to
poetry, art, sport updates, and movie reviews. Members also wanted to see new games be included on the
site.
