Youth Council
It is essential that all aspects of Youth Elemento reflect the wants and needs of the young adults who use the center. Each month we host a meeting for our Youth Council, where we update our young adults on happenings and changes at the center and most importantly, we ask for youth feedback. For example, young adults share ideas for groups and activities they want to see at the center, and we incorporate those ideas into our monthly events calendar.
