Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell believes that every voice matters. As Attorney General, she seeks out the wisdom and perspective of young people to inform her leadership on issues including bias and discrimination, mental health, school safety, environmental justice and government accountability.
The new AGO Youth Council will serve as a catalyst for youth engagement, representation, and inclusion. Selected by application, the Council Members will convene regularly to learn about critical issues, build skills as leaders and advocates, and provide counsel to the Attorney General and her staff. This is a unique opportunity for young people to advise the Attorney General, engage with the policies and processes of state government, and learn about the Attorney General’s Office.
The council will meet 12 times between September 2024 and May 2025. Some meetings will be in person, and all will have a virtual option.
