YAC  (Youth Action Council)

The Youth Action Council (YAC) was formed in 1998 and is the teen advisory sub-group of The Georgetown Project. YAC members are proactive and want to have a voice in the Georgetown community.  YAC has been instrumental in showing Georgetown the immense power of youth and that if given the opportunity, teens can make a positive and lasting impact on our community in very meaningful ways. The activities of YAC are youth-led with support from caring adults and staff of The Georgetown Project.  YAC will be transitioning from a strictly community-based youth effort to a school-based youth initiative focusing on both school and community projects in the 2006-07 school year. We hope you will consider joining YAC this year at the High School and sharing your voice, a little of your time, and your unique talents with our community.
