Our mission is to advocate for Colorado’s youth voices

The Youth Advocacy Council (YAC) is a group comprised of dedicated teens from across Colorado who work together to advocate for the causes that are most important to youth today.

Together, the YAC advises Boys & Girls Clubs in Colorado's Board, provides testimony on relevant legislation and conducts peer outreach statewide.
