Mission Statement

The Ithaca Youth Council is a self-directed group of teens who are charged with representing youth to Ithaca's city government and advocating for youth throughout the community. As a collaborative effort between the Ithaca Youth Bureau, the Greater Ithaca Activities Center (GIAC) and the Southside Community Center, Youth Council has four main objectives: developing future leaders, giving formal voice to youth, engaging in civic education and improving conditions for local youth.
