Youth Council Guide
This publication walks city staff and elected officials through the decisions and actions needed to establish and sustain a municipal youth council, from defining its purpose and structure to recruitment, meetings, programming, and evaluation. It includes a readiness checklist, budgeting levels, a ten-step first-year roadmap, a sample meeting schedule and selection rubric, and links to Georgia examples and sample documents online. The guide provides general program guidance and is not legal advice.
