Board Committees
Youth Council
The Youth Council is tasked with developing strategies that expand basic workplace skills and the experience of young adults throughout Northeast Florida. The Committee will formulate a youth workforce plan, providing a blueprint for agencies and communities to fit together the vast array of programs and resources to leverage dollars from state and federal programs.
The Youth Council promotes successful entry into the workforce through education and workplace experience that leads to self-sufficiency and career advancement. The components of the strategy include efforts that enlist business, education and community support for students to achieve long-term career goals, ensuring that young adults entering the workplace for the first time have the academic and occupational skills required to succeed in the workplace.
