Our committee will be reviewing all applications we receive for our Youth Leadership Council with an equity lens. We will be selecting 7-10 new members to join us for the 2022-2023 term. There will be an emphasis on students who represent our valley, care about making a difference in our communities, and want to develop their leadership.

YOUTH VOICES MATTER.
