A Youth Council provides an opportunity for youth to engage in a structured partnership with Parent Leaders, parents and community organizations in the operation of their community. Research indicates that Youth Councils can improve academic standards and reduce dropout rates in schools.* Youth Councils can create a sense of ownership of the community and its activities among the student population.
