Each year, LYAC seeks passionate youth to represent their peers in the state legislature. Annually, the council holds an annual youth Action Day in Olympia to provide an opportunity for students throughout the state to meet community leaders, participate in policy discussions, and to facilitate direct meetings between youth and legislators. We meet frequently in committees and monthly as a whole council. The council also meets up to six times in person each year. Serving as a council member means advocating for vital policy issues on behalf of Washington's youth. You will have the chance to influence state government by lobbying, testifying before the legislature, and organizing events that matter. Join us as we work to elevate youth voices and foster meaningful change in our communities.
