Youth Council

The Youth Council is comprised of members of the Coastal Workforce Investment Board (CWIB) with interest and experience working with youth, representatives of youth service agencies, former participants, the public housing authority, Job Corps, parents of youth enrolled in the program and others.

The roles and responsibilities of the Youth Council include oversight of a competitive bidding process to identify and award youth services contracts as approved by the CWIB. Other responsibilities include coordination and oversight of activities funded by the youth services grants. To aid in the conduct of these activities, the Council has designated four sub-regions and established a committee in each of those regions to create greater awareness of  CWIB programs and services, provide input on community needs and set priorities for services.  

The Youth Council meets six times per year and the sub-regional committees meet four to six times per year. The Youth Council is currently expanding its membership and would encourage anyone interested in serving at either the Council or sub-regional committee level to attend the next meeting of the Youth Council.

The Youth Council meets at 10:00 A.M. on the second Friday of January, March, May, July, September and November at the Quality Inn in Richmond Hill (exit 87 from I-95).
