YOUTH LEADERSHIP COUNCIL (YLC)
The Youth Leadership Council (YLC) is working towards a rural community where every young person has access to factual, non-judgmental education and services that respect their unique and powerful identities.
Okanogan County's youth and young adults deserve medically accurate, non-judgmental education that will allow them to make informed decisions about their health, as well as youth-friendly resources & services.
The YLC reduces unintended teen pregnancy by educating its members and its community about positive youth development, reproductive healthcare, and healthy relationships. The YLC also works to create a safer community for everyone by bringing awareness and understanding to social, gender, LGBTQ, racial and socioeconomic inequalities.
In 2020, Room One partnered with FYRE as co-leads of this incredible program.
If you are a young person in 8th grade to 12th grade and you're interested in joining the YLC, let us know!
