Welcome! Are you ready to lead? This application is for youth in grades 9–12 throughout the Diocese of Southwest Florida. We're looking for young leaders who are active in their churches and passionate about deepening their faith, growing their leadership skills, and using their gifts to serve others.

As a member of the Diocesan Youth Council (DYC), you'll collaborate with other youth across the diocese to plan, lead, and develop impactful events and programs for your peers, all while deepening your understanding of the Episcopal Church and sharing your faith with the next generation of young people. Each of our seven deaneries will elect two youth representatives, plus two at-large youth members and select adult and clergy allies. The DYC meets monthly, alternating between in-person and via Zoom.

This application should take between 10–15 minutes to complete.
