Committment:
At least three hours per week (more if you can!).

Youth Advisory Council

ABOUT:

YAC also helps out at various events and programs, such as CamTown, Camas Days, and the Summer Reading Program. Snacks always provided at the meetings!

WHEN?
The first Tuesday of the month 7-8pm. Runs year-round.

WHO?
Any teen between the ages of 13 and 18. You can apply any time of the year!
