Teen Board
The Teen Board is a group of high school students from across the state dedicated to learning about Oklahoma's history and heritage while supporting the Oklahoma Hall of Fame's education programs.
The Teen Board offers students the opportunity to meet and learn from Oklahomans who are changing the world, while at the same time learn valuable real-world skills that help them develop deeper connections to one another and their communities. The Teen Board is responsible for planning and implementing an annual fundraiser benefiting the Oklahoma Hall of Fame and Gaylord-Pickens Museum's Free Field Trip Program.
Applications for the 2023 Teen Board will open April.
