State Youth Activation Committee (YAC)

The Youth  Activation  Committee (YAC) is a group of youth comprised of members with and without  intellectual disabilities from across the state. This  group works together  throughout the year to educate, motivate, and activate  youth to become agents of  change in their communities and advocate for the  respect, inclusion, and  acceptance of all people regardless of abilities. The State YAC uses a wide  variety of tools to communicate effectively such  as email, conference calls,  Facebook, state summits, and state rallies. The  goal of the State YAC is to  reach out to other youth to help carry out  social justice or all people.
