Youth council

We are the voice for the youth. We’re here to listen to the ideas and wants of our peers.
— LaCoda Miller, Omak Youth Council President

As the voice for the Colville Tribal Youth, the youth council was developed to gather the thoughts, ideas, and needs of the youth in each district across the reservation. The purpose is to encourage leadership and endorse strong youth representation in all forms.  

Youth Council will strive to make a change by learning how to organize and plan for action. Youth will combine their unique talents and energy to address and solve concerns in their within their community. Youth will also use their respect for tradition to honor what they stand for.

The Youth Council and its’ members will determine their activities by their own needs and assessments. Once needs are determined, youth will develop their own actions plan for implementation.
