The Youth Council Caucus is open to any councilor or ALA member who represents youth issues or wants to support youth on council. I invite you to join the Youth Council Caucus community on ALA Connect to stay informed. https://connect.ala.org/communities/community-home?CommunityKey=9c589589-6532-437f-803b-c682e0bbe292
