The Youth Advisory Council is comprised of fourteen Erie County high school students, two from each of the seven Erie County High Schools. The Youth Advisory Council students visit non-profit organizations in Erie County each month during the school year to learn about the organization and how they serve our community’s needs. The Youth Advisory Council has awarded a total of $78,300 since its beginning 11 years ago.
Funding for the 2010-2011 Youth Council Grants program was provided by the Community Foundation, The Mylander Foundation and the Sandusky Rotary Club.
