Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful Introduces 2022-2023 Green Youth Advisory Council

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - Nov. 10, 2022 - PRLog -- Inspired by Keep America Beautiful's National Youth Advisory Council, Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful's Green Youth Advisory Council (Green YAC) is a hyper-local service-learning and leadership development program for high school students. During their service in the program, Green YAC members lend a fresh perspective to Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful and take part in the eco-focused nonprofit's events while acting as ambassadors for environmental change.

"We're truly excited about this incoming class of Green Youth Advisory Council members," said Schelly Marlatt, Executive Director for Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful. "Before the end of this school year, they will have an opportunity to propose new programs, create initiatives to grow awareness, serve as service-leaders at community events, provide key insights on how we can engage an up-and-coming generation of environmental stewards and so much more. We hope to empower each and every one of them to have an impact on the communities where these rising stars live, work and attend school, while engaging other young people to follow their lead. It is our hope that they will take what they learn during their time with us and grow their reach to impact their cities, their state, their region, their country and the world at large. Of course, what we're finding is that we as an organization have a lot to learn from them, too."
