Youth Advisory Council

Who Are We?

This group of distinguished young adults is to serve as the liaisons to the camp counselors and serve as ambassadors to our Jacksonville community. This Youth Advisory Council are the eyes and ears of their respective camp locations who are the “Middle Phase” of the organization between children and Directors/Instructors. YAC was created to shape rising adults, focusing on Leadership Development, Camp Development, Community Involvement, Educational Development, and Professional/Business Development.

Mission Statement: Our mission is to build a collaborative space where we can evaluate, improve, and expand our experiences of students within our community. Understanding that our community struggles with the enhancement of underserved adolescents and young adults, Y.A.C. will serve to bring awareness to social disparities, voter’s rights, educational empowerment, and beyond.

Vision Statement: Our vision is to make a positive difference in our youth and young adults by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success.
