About Youth Leadership Advisory Council
The Youth Leadership Advisory Council is a collective of 25 young leaders from the south
and west sides of the City of Chicago who are passionate about urban agriculture, equitable access and addressing food insecurities in underserved communities. The mission is to give youth a voice and build a network of urban farms, gardens, leaders, community organizations in the city of Chicago to influence policy change promoting civic engagement and community investment in urban agriculture for the next generation of producers. Our group engages and excites young people in agricultural topics and career opportunities.
