DC Youth Advisory Council Members Sworn In by Mayor Fenty

Last night, over 100 parents, friends, and family members looked on as members of the 2008-2009 District of Columbia Youth Advisory Council (DCYAC) were sworn in by Mayor Adrian. M. Fenty. Fourty-six youth (32 council members and 14 Ward Advisors) representing Wards 1-8, the juvenile justice, and foster care systems took a pledge to advocate for youth in the District for a two year term. Those in attendance had an opportunity to learn more about the DCYAC, network, and have their pictures taken with Mayor Fenty. On behalf of the entire DCYAC staff, thank you to everyone who attended. We look forward to an amazing year! For more information about the DCYAC visit www.dcyac.dc.gov.
