The Youth Council is composed
of young people selected from
each of the six Greensboro high
schools. The number of persons
elected from each school is pro
portionate to the total enroll
ment of the school. The Youth
Council obtains its members by
a combination of open applica
tion followed by a school-wide
election. The average membership
is between 60 and 80 people.
The Youth Council meets three
times a month. It has three perm
anent offices: a chairman, a vice-
chairman, and a secretary, and
it has program chairman offices
which are determined by the
programs of each year.
The above offices compose the
Executive Board, along with the
adult advisors selected by the
Greensboro City Council because
of their ability to work with
youth.
Each program chairman has a
committee of a size necessary to
operate effectively in his area of
responsibility. All Youth Council
programs are handled by the
youth themselves... The.. Youth
Council is advised by an ex-
officio board of city high school
student body presidents who arc
not official GYC members. The
Executive Director of the Youth
Council is the City Youth Co
ordinator.
The Youth Council, as begun
in Greensboro, is now spreading
through North Carolina and the
surrounding states. Already Coun
cils may be found in Raleigh,
High Point, Asheville, and Fay
etteville with many new councils
