The Region I Youth Council was established to provide guidance in the development of youth policies and to make recommendations to the local board regarding youth matters. The Youth Council is considered a subgroup to the Region 1 Workforce Investment Board. The Region 1 Youth Council membership is composed of Workforce Investment Board members, juvenile justice representation, local public housing authorities, parents of eligible WIA youth, youth who have or are currently receiving WIA services, and Job Corps. The Region I Youth Council has quarterly meetings, which are open to the public. These meetings are generally held on the third Wednesday in July, October, January, and April.
