About We The Youth Care | We The Youth Care

Empowering Youth Voices

WeTheYouthCare Council (The Youth Council) is a student-led organization of young citizens who believe that change begins with understanding and action. Our common dedication to civic participation brings us together through public issue research and open discussion which leads to meaningful advocacy activities.

The Youth Council unites young people from different backgrounds to work together and make sure youth voices are part of the decisions that shape our future. Through meetings, debates, and petitions, we work to connect youth with the democratic process and prove that civic participation is for everyone, not just adults.

We are learners, leaders, and changemakers.
