 Youth Advisory
Council
The Region 1 Youth Advisory Council provides guidance for, and exercises oversight of, local youth programs operated under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). In addition, the council provides expertise in youth policy and assists the Regional Workforce Investment Board (RWIB) in:
1. Developing and recommending local youth employment and training policy and practice.
2. Broadening the youth employment and training focus in the community to incorporate a youth development perspective.
3. Establishing links with other organizations serving youth in the local area.
4. Factoring the range of issues that can have an impact on the success of youth in the labor market.
Members of the Youth Advisory Council serve two-year terms, and represent people with a special interest in youth policy. Members include individuals from youth service agencies, such as juvenile justice and law enforcement, public housing, parents, former JTPA or WIA participants, and the
