Community Development
Granville County Youth Leadership Council
We are pleased to introduce the new Granville County Youth Leadership Council members for 22-23. They represent a wide variety of backgrounds and perspectives in our community. This council is in partnership with the Granville County Board of Commissioners and NC Cooperative Extension, Granville County.

The purpose of this council is to ensure that youth in the community have a voice, but most importantly, that their voices are heard, recognized and valued. During their tenure, they will gain invaluable leadership skills through their service on selected county boards, outreach, initiatives and youth-led projects.

The GCYLC members were chosen from a pool of applicants comprised of students from High Schools across Granville County.
The members are hard at work, participating in an orientation and planning retreat at Camp Oak Hill in November. This retreat served to help them understand their roles as well as provided an opportunity to conduct an informal needs assessment and strategic planning session for youth in Granville County.
