What is a YAC? Every city, regardless of its size or location, shares a common resource—arguably its greatest resource—its youth. Creating safe and enriching environments that our children can thrive in is really what it is all about. Our city aims to tap into youth perspective, creativity, and energy by re-starting our Youth Advisory Council (YAC). There are dozens of YACs operating across the state, each with their own personality. Some focus on community service, others concentrate on peer involvement, and some operate as mini-city councils that deliberate issues and make recommendations. All give youth a voice and a stake in their city government. YACs provide cities with energetic volunteers for civic projects, give city leaders a fresh viewpoint on issues challenging our cities, and create a sense of accomplishment for our youth. Does this sound like someone you know?
