Youth Advisory Council

Youth around a campfire

  • Broadening the youth employment and training focus in the community to incorporate a youth development perspective.

  • Establishing links with other organizations serving youth in the local area.

  • Factoring the range of issues that can have an impact on the success of youth in the labor market.
