The Yollocalli Youth Council is an opportunity for youth (high school and college aged) to play an instrumental part in the development of classes, workshops, and special events for young people at Yollocalli. The council works with Yollocalli’s Youth Development Advisor to brainstorm and implement youth activities (art contests, grant writing, and special events like youth nights), and plays a key role in class development (course and teaching artist selection). The badge earner participated in over 10 Youth Council meetings and helped prepare and develop 2 to 3 separate projects within the council. Preparation activities include researching similar projects from other youth organizations, interviewing youth on project ideas and outcome goals, group discussions on feasibility of projects, and budget consideration.
