Are you a young, aspiring individual looking to make your mark in the world of politics and civic engagement? Our Youth Council is the perfect platform for you to connect, learn, and grow as you explore the world around you. Here, we foster a community of like-minded young people who are passionate about creating a brighter future.
Our Youth Council is a dynamic and inclusive group that holds monthly virtual meetings. We believe in the power of the youth to influence change, and we are committed to providing opportunities for you to make a meaningful impact on the world around you.
On this page we will post our upcoming meetings and other opportunities for you to get involved with WACH. There are also links to outside programs, internships, and fellowships that we think will be of interest.
Please note that we have no control over broken links to outside sources, as their content and availability are managed by the respective third-party websites.
