Youth Action Council (YAC)
The Youth Action Council (YAC) is a group of teen developmental asset leaders from ages 13 to 19 that give a voice to teens in the community by building assets 1 teen at a time.
The purpose of YAC is to serve as the prominent voice representing the youth in our community. YAC helps the teens of Morgan Hill recognize that they are valued and appreciated as a part of the community (Asset #7: Community Values Youth - young person perceives that adults in the community value youth). As a group of dedicated teenagers, YAC will communicate the desires of teens and create programs and special events where teens can cultivate Developmental Assets through building a bond with other teens and members of the community.
All students interested in becoming YAC Members must first complete the Youth Leadership Morgan Hill program. You will need to apply to Youth Leadership Morgan Hill (YLMH) in July. The application packet will be available in May every year. Completed packet needs to be submitted at the time of the registration. You can register at any of our recreation facilities (Centennial Recreation Center, Community and Cultural Center and Aquatics Center) before the first day of the program.
