·        Washington State Legislative Youth Advisory Council wants to hear from students.  Did you know there is a 22-member group of students meeting regularly in Olympia as a nonpartisan entity representing the voice of students?  Selected from around the state by Governor Gregoire and the four legislative caucuses, the group acts as the voice for Washington State Youth.

 

As the Washington State Legislative Youth Advisory Council we strive to be a voice for you; examine issues of importance to Washington youth and vocalize concerns to legislators. We also promote youth participation in state and municipal governments as well as foster long-lasting relationships between state legislators, adults, and young people.
