YCA established the Youth Advisory Council to focus on enhancing accountable space practices, programming and outreach, organizational policies, and overall YCA atmospheres. We carefully interviewed and selected eight young people to represent the demographic we serve. These individuals will be trusted to honorably implement change and voice the ideas and concerns of their peers.
The council will convene bi-weekly until August of 2022 to help spearhead the new direction of Young Chicago Authors.
