Youth Advisory Committee

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.

NSYC's Youth Advisory Committee is unique for providing fresh perspective on the implementation or enhancement of programs and services that will help guide positive behaviors and prevent destructive decisions, violence, bullying, and substance abuse in adolescents.

​They meet weekly to discuss current issues such as the opioid epidemic, social pressures, and mental health wellness, and make recommendations to the Board of Directors as to how they can take action to engage kids beyond the school bell and reduce the chances of them being exposed to dangerous situations. 

Guiding Principles

Through empowerment, young people know they are valued by their peers
​and the adults in their communities.

Through involvement, young people serve useful roles in their
​schools, families, and communities.

Through volunteering, young people provide service to others in the community.
​
Through respect, young people feel safe in their 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.
North Shore Youth Council is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit community-based organization, funded in part by the Town of Brookhaven, the County of Suffolk, the State of New York, ​the North Shore Consortium, and public and private donations.
