Help spread the word and encourage youth to apply for the 
NEW Knoxville/ Knox County Youth Action Council!	

	Knoxville’s Promise, in partnership with the Knox County Mayor’s
office and the City of Knoxville Mayor’s office, will host a new project
called the Youth Action Council (YAC).  The YAC will be the first
representative body for teens in Knoxville/Knox County and will be charged
with ensuring that the opinions and concerns of youth are voiced in the
community.

	This project is designed to ensure that teens in Knoxville and Knox
County have input into the policies that affect them and to increase
awareness among government representatives and the general public about
issues facing children and youth.  The Youth Action Council will facilitate
quality interaction with community leaders who will serve as mentors and
advisors to these involved teens.  As a result, the Youth Action Council
will not only provide opportunities for young people to better understand
how our local government operates, youth will experience collaboration and
team building, as well as leadership and public service.  And finally, the
YAC will employ the framework of the Five Promises of America’s Promise to
develop programs that engage young people and strengthen the sense of
community and civic duty among teens.  

	Seven youth will be chosen from the city and the county to comprise
the Youth Action Council.  The application process is underway and current
high school sophomores in Knox County are encouraged to apply by April 30th.
Applicants should be aware of key issues facing youth, as well as possess
the desire and creativity to make a change in their community.   

	Applications and recommendation forms are available on Knoxville’s
Promise website, www.knoxvillespromise.org or by calling Knoxville’s Promise
at 865-523-2775.  Forms are also available on the City of Knoxville website,
www.cityofknoxville.org and Knox County’s website, www.knoxcounty.org.
Applicant interviews and selection of finalist will be conducted by
representatives from the City and County as well as Knoxville’s Promise, and
will be announced by May 24.   

	My contact information is below if you have any further questions.
Thank you in advance for helping to encourage youth to find their voice and
apply for this unique opportunity.  We truly appreciate all of your support.
