The City of Cottage Grove started the Cottage Grove Youth Advisory Council (YAC) in December of 2005 by recruiting students from within the Cottage Grove area to serve on the YAC. The positions on the Council are open to all middle school and high school aged youth in the community.
The basic purpose of the Youth Advisory Council is to advise the City on issues that affect youth in the community. In addition, members of the YAC attend City Council meetings to serve as the Youth Representative on the City Council. They have the opportunity to discuss issues with the City Council and vote on actions with the Council. The City looks to the Youth Advisory Council as the primary communication link between local government and youth on a variety of subjects and opportunities. The YAC is a valuable tool to provide additional input to the City.
Eligibility:
The positions on the Council are open to all middle school and high school aged youth in the community. Youth Advisory Council members do not need to live within the City limits, but must live within the South Lane School District.
