The
Centralina Youth Council is a subcommittee of The Centralina Workforce
Development Board, Inc. (The Board is a non-profit organization
governed by a volunteer board of directors responsible for developing
policy and overseeing local workforce development initiatives
in partnership with the local elected officials.) The Council
assists in preparing youth for the competitive labor market. Its
emphasis is on youth development programs. The council also identifies
and promotes information on education and training opportunities
for youth in the region. Twenty-four Youth Councils across North
Carolina are working to establish local youth development systems
and to make youth policy recommendations to local Workforce Development
Boards.
