Youth Advisory Council
_____________________________________
The Youth Advisory Council is
made up of representatives from each high school
in the district. High schools include public,
private, and continuation. The youth meet on a
monthly basis to conduct business regarding
youth issues in the county. The council was
created by the Board of Supervisors in order for
the youth in Riverside County to have a voice in
the decision making process. This council
creates a channel for which the youth in the
county can be heard, and more importantly
listened to.
The Youth Advisory Council is
a part of the Youth Commission. The Youth
Commission is made up of one representative from
each Supervisorial council in the county. Being
that Riverside County has five districts; the
Youth Commission is made up of one member from
each council. The five-member commission meets
at least quarterly.

"YAC
has taught me how serving my community
can be fun and still rewarding. When we
went to UCR and showed those students
how important college is for their
futures I felt like I had a part in
their lives and their life choices."
