The Youth Advisory Council is an opportunity for high school students to learn about local government. Students must formally apply for participation and are appointed by the Mayor-President. Members meet monthly, speak with government leaders, serve the community, and advocate for issues that are important to youth in Lafayette Parish. The application process for the 2025-2026 year is currently closed.
