Are you between the ages of 16 and 25 and want to make a difference in the City of Los Angeles? Join the LA Youth Council and help create a citywide Youth Development Strategic Plan that will help shape the programs and investments the City offers its youth for years to come!
The council seats 30 empowered youth from across the City who will serve a one-year term. During their term, members learn about the inner working of local government, drive special community projects and civic events, and make policy and budget recommendations to elected and civic leaders of the City to improve the well-being, safety and achievement of young Angelenos.
The City’s Youth Development Department (YDD) and Department of Neighborhood Empowerment (EmpowerLA) oversee the LA City Youth Council, which honors the legacy of a public servant and living icon, Olivia Mitchell, whose passion for mentoring young Angelenos and love for our City has inspired countless government and community leaders over several decades.
