At Service Academy, we believe that every young person has the potential to lead change in their communities. But too often, barriers like lack of access, resources, or support stand in the way. That's why we're on a mission to create pathways for youth leadership through service. By providing mentorship, skill-building opportunities, and platforms for impact, we can help young people discover their unique strengths and put them into action. But we can't do it alone. It takes a village to raise up the next generation of changemakers. So, we want to know: What role can you play in empowering youth leaders? Whether you're a parent, educator, community member, or fellow youth advocate, your support matters.

AYAC is pleased to launch our youth leadership report: Councils, committees, and YAGs (oh my!): On formal youth leadership. The report was structured around three research questions:  1. What is youth leadership?  2. What ‘works’ in youth leadership?  3. How might we best meet future youth leadership needs? For this report, we primarily focused on formal youth leadership – think student representative councils, youth advisory groups, youth parliaments, and the like. A review of research literature, an online youth survey, and consultation with young people helped to inform the report's findings.
