The Youth Advisory Council of the Community Foundation of St. Clair County is asking area middle school and high school students to complete a survey asking for their take on issues affecting teens.
Avery Allen, President of the Youth Advisory Council, said, “Our youth survey is designed to gather and use information straight from the youth in our community to create our priorities. We use our priorities as a measurement tool to effectively assess grant applications.”
Allen said, “The survey itself is a series of questions regarding the most important issues in our community right now, both positive and negative, according to the youth. The students on our committee came up with the questions using past surveys and current events. We wanted to cover as many serious issues as we could in our survey.”
Jackie Hanton, Vice President of the Community Foundation of St. Clair County, said that the Youth Advisory Council has given out more than $1 million in grants since its inception in 1994. The Council reviews its priorities every three years.
