Youth action Council
The Youth Action Council (YAC) is a dynamic group of young individuals dedicated to making a positive impact in their community. YAC members collaborate on projects that address local issues, promote civic engagement, and build leadership skills. By participating in the council, youth have the opportunity to voice their opinions, develop new initiatives, and work alongside community leaders to create meaningful change. Whether it's organizing events, advocating for important causes, or volunteering, YAC empowers youth to take action and make a difference.
