Welcome to the City of Edmonton Youth Council website! You can find information here on what we do, what's going on, and how to get involved.

In short, as a committee of City Council, the mandate of the CEYC is to advise City Council and City administration/staff on issues, projects and developments that affect youth in Edmonton. There are many different ways to get involved and contribute, and in many different areas of interest!

It is our goal to build a group of young people that represent Edmonton's diversity of perspectives, experiences and knowledge, and who can work together toward the improvement of youth opportunities and experiences from a policy and advocacy level. (And we always do our best to have fun in whatever we do!) No experience is needed to become a member of the Youth Council.

The only two criteria in order to apply to the CEYC are that you be between the ages of 13 to 23, and be a resident of Edmonton. A passion for youth issues, a desire to learn about and work within the City to improve youth opportunities, a motivation to work positivelywith a diverse group of other young people to enact change, and the desire to have fun are all part of the picture as well!

Subcommittes are open to membership from youth in the city, regardless of whether you are part of the Youth Council General Assembly or not. Contact the Coordinator at (780) 496-4938 or youthcouncil@edmonton.ca for more info.
