The Youth Leadership Council is a group of young adults that act as a support system for their peers and agents of change in the community around them.
The goal of the Youth Leadership Council is to eliminate challenges for young adults in life after high school through community. The Leadership Council meets twice a month for two hours to plan, facilitate, and recruit for upcoming Pathways events. Members of the council are paid a stipend for each meeting they attend and are offered additional paid work opportunities.
The summer cohort will be taking applications starting in mid-May 2025.
