Youth Council

The mission of the GLWIB Youth Council is to identify and support a network of services that at-risk youth may access in order to obtain the necessary education, training and employment to attain their own economic self-sufficiency.

The Youth Council is a subgroup of the Greater Lowell Workforce Investment Board.  The local board, in cooperation with the City Manager of Lowell, appoints members of the Youth Council.  The membership of the Youth Council includes educators, employers, Human Service Agency representatives, juvenile justice and law enforcement agencies, Public Housing Authorities, parents and former participants of youth service programs.  The Youth Council carries out the following activities subject to the approval of the Greater Lowell WIB:

Ø      Develops Youth sections of the WIA Five-Year Plan for the area

Ø      Recommends eligible youth providers

Ø      Provides oversight of eligible youth program providers

Ø      Coordinates employment and training activities for youth in the local area

Ø      Performs other duties as determined by the GLWIB
