Youth Action Council

Wilmot's Youth Action Council (YAC) is a group of local youth volunteers (ages 14 - 19) who offer other youth a chance to be involved in the community, to create and support the youth voice. Youth will learn and develop leadership skills and provide input into the programs offered to them. 

Mandate

Wilmot's Youth Action Council is open to all youth within the community, and is committed to finding out their needs and interests. Through the actions of the group, youth will be provided with the opportunity to become involved in activities and events throughout the community.

For more information, please refer to the Terms of Reference for the Youth Action Council.

Events

Youth Action Council is currently taking a break. Please watch our social media accounts for more information on when we will return. 

YAC aims to offer a few events throughout the year. Each event is run entirely by the YAC members from start to finish, from booking the space, to material lists to the cleanup, it’s all about the youth power! Through providing our youth the opportunity to learn and develop their transferable skills, we are investing in our leaders of tomorrow.  

If you would like more information on how to get involved with the Youth Action Council, on upcoming events or sponsorship opportunities, please contact us.

We are excited to participate in National Youth week, held annually from May 1 to 7. We'll share details for Youth Week 2026 as soon as they become available.
