Student Questions :

Describe yourself in five words

Required Video Questions:*
A video response is required as part of the application process. Video responses help us better understand your ideas, communication style, and leadership potential, which is beyond what a written application can convey. Teen Advisory Board members serve as representatives of the program and as peer influencers; this format allows us to observe how applicants interact with others.
Videos do not need to be professionally produced. A phone or computer camera is sufficient. We are focused on your ideas and perspective—not editing, background, or presentation quality.

Please upload your video to our Google Upload Form.

Question 1:
Traffic safety messages don’t always resonate with teens. If you could design one project, activity, or campaign to change the way students at your school see traffic safety, what would it be?

In your response, describe:
- The problem or misconception you want to address

- Your idea or project

- How it would connect with students your age and get their attention

Question 2:
Being on the Teen Advisory Board requires commitment and follow-through. Tell us about a time you committed to a responsibility (school, club, team, job, or community activity).

In your response, share:
- What was your role was
- How you stayed engaged and accountable
- What you learned that would help you succeed as a TAB member

Required Documents:

Complete and upload the following required documents.

Teen Advisory Board Student and Parent Commitment and Photo/Video Release Forms. Clicking the link routes first to the Student Commitment form, which is to be completed by the student. Once that is submitted, you will be routed to the Parental Support form, which is to be completed by the parent. These are e-signature forms that will be routed to student and parent emails for final verification. Both steps must be completed to be considered for the board.

This is a required part of your application. If issues with this part of the application, email r-mares@tti.tamu.edu.
