If you are interested in amplifying youth voices and engaging with your elected officials, The Shelby County Youth Council would like to invite you to attend the 2024 Youth Voice Summit. We would love for you to come and help build MORE youth empowerment!

On April 8th the Shelby County Youth Council held the Youth Voice Summit! It was absolutely incredible and beyond encouraging to meet and hear from fellow youth that demand change. There is so much preparation that goes into these kinds of events, and a big part of the after math and debriefing is accepting that not every part of the Summit could have gone perfectly. We would have loved to have seen more commissioners attend the Summit, as their participation was a large part of enabling youth advocacy in this event, but everything that we heard from the Youth participants are things that we will continue to advocate for to our district commissioners.

We are so grateful for all of the amazing voices that were brought to the surface during the Summit, and truly hope to keep working with you all to make Shelby County a better and more equitable place for Youth.

While SCYC is away on spring break, at last Wednesday’s meeting they were hard at work prepping for the upcoming youth summit! Join us at BRIDGES April 8th at 12pm✨

This is our District 6 Youth Representative, Bella Brewer, one of SCYC’s adult advisers Corrinne McClure, and District 6 Commissioner Charlie Caswell! Yesterday, Bella And Corrinne met with Commissioner Caswell to discuss getting involved in working together to help advocate for, and meet the needs of the Youth in District 6.

We got to learn more about one another’s values in the work that we are doing and the history backing those passions! We hope to continue to grow this partnership into a strong outlet for Youth advocacy.

Work lunch after attending the Youth Action Board Town Hall! Showing up as SCYC representatives to talk about what we do in our organization. >>
Shoutout to for showing up to represent as well!

Yesterday the two SCYC committees got working on curriculum and District engagement planning for our upcoming Youth Summit! Diving headfirst into the new structure of committees has had quite a productive start.

Headlining our weekly SCYC meetings is our meeting agenda which clearly lays out what we want to get done, while leaving room for last minute changes if needed!

We will continue to need all able hands on deck throughout the movement against police brutality and the bastardized system that has been hurting and killing people of color for generations. Please Come support this rally for Tyre Nichols on February 16th at 12pm!
