What is the Youth Advisory Leadership Council (YALC)?
A youth lead program part of YES Institute, that provides youth the opportunity to grow and enhance their leadership and communication skills. This program naturally serves as space for youth to interact with others who share similar experiences, and support and hold one another accountable. It is often, the only place members of YALC can be themselves. YALC is meant to empower and develop youth who want to make a difference in their community alongside YES Institute staff. Instead of speaking and relating to youth as victims, helpless, or “too young”, they are seen as BIG people, leaders, change-makers, and as a contribution to the work we are all up to.
Mission: To empower and coach youth leaders to lead YES Institute’s education to support its vision of a community where all youth are free of suicide, violence, and discrimination.
