 Mission/Vision
The New Brunswick Advisory Council on Youth is a provincial body representative of youth, which voices the interests, needs, concerns and perspectives of young people aged 15 – 24, and presents recommendations to government and to the public. This is achieved by acting as an advisory body, through resource coordination, research and consultation. Through its actions, the New Brunswick Advisory Council on Youth strives to be a catalyst for increasing youth involvement in society.
The Council is composed of 13 young New Brunswickers representing all regions of the province and both official language groups.
