Youth Shape the Future - 2026 Youth Leadership Academy
YLA is an opportunity for high school students (grades 9-12) to learn about the roles of local and regional government, including regional planning, transportation, sustainability, land use, and the interaction with local non-profits and communities. Today’s leaders and decision makers across all sectors are planning and making decisions for the future. Those who are most impacted by those decisions are our youth. Often youth do not have the knowledge on how to inform policymakers, decision-makers, and elected bodies like SACOG, or their local elected officials. YLA is focused on youth empowerment to create pathways for young people to understand local and regional government and learn about career opportunities in public service.
The academy brings together students from Sutter, Yuba, Yolo, El Dorado, Placer, and Sacramento counties. This approach provides a rare opportunity for students to connect with peers from across the six-county region, meet and hear from their local and state elected officials and community leaders.
The deadline for applications is Sunday, March 1 at 11:59 p.m. Students can apply at sacog.org/youth.
