The Clark County Youth Commission is a youth-driven advisory board and leadership development program established by the Clark County Board of Commissioners in April 1998. Members, ages 11-19, aim to represent all the diverse youth living in Clark County. Members provide a youth-oriented point-of-view to the work of the Clark County Council, county departments, and community organizations. The Youth Commission informs these groups about issues important to youth, makes suggestions on how to address these issues, and provides advice on how to build positive partnerships with youth.
We are a group of youth working to protect our community and our peers from the impacts of substance use. We noticed that most websites about youth substance use prevention are created by adults, so we made this website as a space to better our community and to connect with you, youth to youth.
