The Youth Advisory Committee is a diverse and talented group of teens ages 13-19 who are student ambassadors for North Shore Youth Council. Through community service, charity, and education, they serve as a peer-to-peer drug resistance and prevention model. Their programs extend into the community through collaboration with the schools, local businesses, and a variety of projects and agencies. Their flagship programs include Open Mic Night, the Big Buddy-Little Buddy mentoring program, food drives, Habitat for Humanity build events, fundraising at local VFW Halls, and establishing a greater reach within the community.

The Youth Advisory Committee is always looking to expand and bring in new members. No special skills are necessary, just a genuine interest in youth issues and a willingness to commit to being a team player. Opportunities are available to work together as a team and accomplish group activities, as well as to develop skills in meeting procedures, working with the media, advertising, community consultation, public speaking, and decision making. Committee members are expected to attend regular group meetings. If you are interested in the Youth Advisory Committee, complete the application form and fax to our office at 631-744-3565.
