Become a Shining Star
The purpose of the Youth Advisory Council is to serve as a link between the youth of James City County youth and their government.
What We Do
Work of the Council includes:
- serving as a liaison between the James City County Office of Community Services and the youth of James City County;
- providing a platform for County youth to present their ideas, needs, and suggestions;
- enhancing awareness of needs, problems, and issues affecting the youth of James City County;
- performing annual community services projects; and
- meeting regularly with the James City County Board of Supervisors to discuss issues important to local youth.
Who we are?
We are the James City County Youth Advisory Council, which consist of 15 student members representing Grades 8 - 12. We represent all area middle and high school students. We are a very well diverse group by gender, race, and where we live geographically in the County. We are the eyes and ears that represent all youth from birth to 18 years of age.
