Youth Commission
The York County Youth Commission (YCYC) serves as a communications link between the youth of York County and the Board of Supervisors by researching and presenting student issues, problems, needs, ideas, and suggestions. The YCYC also makes recommendations regarding programs provided to youth and participates in their establishment when appropriate. Service on the YCYC increases members’ knowledge of local government and provides opportunities for leadership skills development and close teamwork with other students from across the county.

Membership
The Youth Commission is made up of 20 high school students, 4 from each election district. Members must be residents of York County and enrolled in grades 9 through 12 in a public, private, or home school.
Activities
In an effort to gain student input, the YCYC conducts student surveys and hosts annual Town Hall Meetings in the high schools each spring, where students can ask questions in a face-to-face setting with a member of the Board of Supervisors and a member of the School Board. Finally, the YCYC performs and/or sponsors various service projects throughout the year and helps organize and/or publicize countywide high school social events to help build a sense of community among all students living here.
Bylaws
