What does it mean to be on the Youth Advisory Committee?

The Youth Advisory Committee advises on developing the Youth Integrated Service Hub. Youth use their experience as young people in the community to ensure that the youth inform the space, programs, and youth services. Youth will be given the opportunity to join and participate in meetings with community service providers and organizations.
