As a youngin'-ish on the CCD (Atlanta, GA) board, I am happy to provide my 2 cents to this. I personally joined our board for special reasons not necessarily applicable to this discussion, but I think in normal circumstances, a great way to get younger people onto your board is to convey that this is *Leadership Experience*. That's an important term to a lot of younger individuals that might want to beef up their resumes or college applications. It's generally somewhat hard to get into leadership positions as a late teen/early 20s individual, and contra organizations are great for this in my opinion. In my opinion, that's how one should sell it. I don't like the idea of things like "Youth positions" on a board because it could be construed as saying you're valued for your age, as opposed to your ideas/commitment to the community (similarly to if one said your board had "Woman positions", "Hispanic positions", etc.). You want diversity, and younger people want experiences that set them apart in life. It's a good combination by itself I think.
