National Youth Leadership Council

The National Youth Leadership Council (NYLC) is comprised of youth leaders from across the nation. The NYLC is staffed by two representatives from each of the regional councils and the CLC. In addition, the NYLC reserves spaces for four “At Large” seats. “At Large” seats are for exceptional youth who are not geographically associated with a region.

The NYLC is an advisory council that supports Roots & Shoots by acting as a liaison among councils. In addition, the NYLC is able to support areas of the country where we do not currently have regional offices. The Youth Leaders from the NYLC act as representatives and speakers for Roots & Shoots at National events or conferences.
