National Youth Leaders and National Staff at the 2008 Youth Leadership Initiative Training and Orientation Retreat

About the Council

The National Youth Leadership Council (NYLC) is comprised of representatives from each of the regional councils. The NYLC brings together the various regions and helps make sure that each council knows exactly what the other councils are doing. The NYLC also serves as an advisory board to ensure that Roots & Shoots and the Jane Goodall Institute remain youth driven. Finally, the NYLC designs and helps to implement the Roots & Shoots National Youth Campaign.
