Boston ~ Today, Governor Maura T. Healey signed Executive Order #617, establishing the Governor's Youth Advisory Council to advise the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and the entire administration on critical issues impacting Massachusetts. The Council will include at least one representative from each county and will be appointed to two-year terms.
The purpose of the Council is to provide a platform for young people aged 16-21 to make their voices heard and have a seat at the table when it comes to decisions that will affect their futures. The Council will focus on issues such as civic engagement, education, the environment, housing, and youth violence.
"I've been so inspired by the young people I've met who have been making their voices heard and demanding more from their leaders on the most pressing issues facing Massachusetts," said Governor Healey. "They deserve a seat at the table."

They're all eager to be involved in civic engagement and have a hand at creating policies that will impact them and their peers. I am excited to work with and support this council to amplify the perspectives of our students and to conquer what matters most."
