Applications are currently closed. Check back in the summer to apply for the 2023-2024 school year!

The Youth Leadership Council will run from October-May. In order to be eligible you must have previously completed at least one Y-WE Program. This year we will meet in person, though if Seattle Public Schools stops meeting in person, we will also switch to online meetings.

What kind of leader do you want to be?

YLC is for returning youth seeking to deepen their leadership and become stewards of Y-WE culture, by contributing their ideas to our Strategic planning process, supporting Y-WE staff to do direct outreach to other youth, building their skill as facilitators, and applying their leadership in the greater community. It’s also a space of self reflection, learning, and connection.

Opening retreat in October (location TBD)

Bi-weekly on Wednesdays from 4:30-6:30 (October 26-May 31)

Location: The Y-WE Building (5623 Rainier Ave S, Seattle, WA 98118)

I want to continue being a part of the social justice work and to remember that I am enough.

I am more confident with my voice, and I can speak up for myself better.
