The Somerset County Youth Council was established to develop leadership skills and to give youth a forum where their ideas and concerns can be expressed and conveyed to the Board of Chosen Freeholders. Members are actively solicited from middle schools and high schools (both public and private) in Somerset County. Activities of the council are coordinated by the students to promote youth leadership. Youth Council members develop ideas for programming that can be implemented in the community.

Meeting Schedule: The Youth Council meets from 7-8:30 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month. Meetings are normally held at the Somerset County Human Services Building located at 27 Warren Street, Somerville but have taken place virtually via the Zoom platform.
