Youth Advisory Council

Youth Community Connections has joined with the Minnesota Alliance With Youth to host a joint statewide Youth Advisory Council!

Minnesota’s Youth Advisory Council (MNYAC) recruits partner organizations that have significant and sustained contact with young people in their local communities. Each partner organization identifies high school aged youth representatives to serve on the statewide youth council. MNYAC seeks to recruit a diverse cross section of organizations and youth from across the state.

MNYAC provides youth representatives with a forum to come together and exercise their voice by discussing policy issues while advising the work of Youth Community Connections (YCC), the Minnesota Alliance With Youth (The Alliance), and our partners. By engaging young people, MNYAC works to empower them to learn, develop and transform their communities and our state.
Youth representatives will gain skills in leadership and civic engagement. They will provide valuable advice and youth perspectives on the work of our organizations, participate in committee meetings and events, and create or participate in local and statewide efforts addressing issues important to young people.
