About Us

We are an ad hoc coalition of 75+ students, educators, public officials, and community leaders collaborating to advance legislation to establish a Georgia Youth Advisory Council.

Once this legislation is enacted, it would provide the Governor and General Assembly with a permanent, statewide advisory body composed of young Georgians from every congressional district who will research issues, develop recommendations, and strengthen civic engagement across the state.
