Who We Are
The Clark County Youth Commission is a youth-driven advisory board and leadership development program established by the Clark County Board of Commissioners in April 1998. Members, ages 11-19, aim to represent all the diverse youth living in Clark County.
What We Do
Members provide a youth-oriented point-of-view to the work of the Board of County Councilors, county departments, and community organizations. The Youth Commission informs these groups about issues important to youth, makes suggestions on how to address the issues important to youth, and provides advice on how to build positive partnerships with youth.

Our Work
Each year the Youth Commission studies a topic assigned by the Board of County Councilors.
Last year, the Youth Commission studied citizen voice and engagement. The Youth Commission describes in this report the various types of youth participation in local government and presents recommendations for boosting citizen engagement.
This year, the Youth Commission is working in partnership with county staff to implement many of the recommendations developed in the citizen voice and engagement report.
Other topics the Youth Commission has studied include:
