Shelby County Youth Council

Picture
Who We Are
In early 2019, members of the Bridge Builders CHANGE cohort Memphis Youth Union developed and proposed a vision for a new youth voice platform in Shelby County—a representative body to include high school aged youth in decision-making processes, solve issues that youth have identified in the community, and strengthen youth engagement in the county government.

Goals Of The SCYC
  • Gathering youth input and amplifying youth voice from all parts of Shelby County
  • Creating innovative solutions to persistent community challenges identified by both youth and adult county leadership
  • Increasing youth engagement across Shelby County
​
Benefits Of The SCYC
  • Providing leadership development opportunities for more young people
  • Creating a platform for youth to have the influence they deserve on public policy and community planning
  • Engaging the expertise of young people and establishing a process by which adults work to solve problems with youth, not for youth
