YOUTH VOICE

YouthVoice-Generic-Flyer

Each year North Carolina 4-H and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service partner with the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) on a multi-year initiative to increase youth involvement in county government. This initiative helps youth learn more about county government and how to become more involved in local decision-making. The event is sponsored and supported by the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners.
