After carefully selecting youth throughout our regions in 2023, our Y reintroduced the Youth Advisory Council (YAC) in January of 2024. The youth selected are representatives from current staff teams, volunteers, program participants, and community members. The council of 12 individuals are currently growing their understanding of the association and shaping what influence the council will have on our communities. YAC will serve a multitude of purposes including; giving youth a voice, getting involved with community events, and working as a team.
