Youth Advisory Council
The OH-11 Youth Advisory Council (YAC) was developed to give high school students the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge about government, provide meaningful input, and enhance their leadership skills. The inaugural class of the OH-11 Youth Advisory Council met during the 2023-24 school year.
Applications for the 2024-25 class open August 12, 2024.
Through YAC, students will gain the skills and confidence needed to foster long-lasting change in their communities by affecting positive outcomes and impacting the lives of others.
As a YAC member, students will have the opportunity to work on real-world projects and develop important career-building skills, such as public speaking, problem-solving, and teamwork.
We are seeking highly qualified juniors and seniors to serve as official youth ambassadors.
