The DeKalb County Youth Commission is a leadership program, sponsored in March 2008 by the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners was designed to involve youth, from varied socioeconomic backgrounds and multicultural neighborhoods, with opportunities to have a voice in their communities.

By learning the roles of county government, and participating in civic and community activities, and while representing the views of the youth of DeKalb County, the Youth Commissioners will sustain their efforts to becoming effective leaders of the future.

Students, enrolled in DeKalb County’s high schools from the tenth through twelve grades, are encouraged to apply annually to participate in the DeKalb County Youth Commission program. Selection is based on a completed application that contains an essay, and a referral from a community member, school administrator, teacher, counselor or civic leader. Other considerations may include a student’s GPA, community involvement (i.e., volunteerism, clubs, youth groups, etc.), and their presentation during an interview process. Students should have a rich history of recognized leadership potential, as well as extra time to actively participate during school hours and after-school events.

Newly selected applicants will be notified in July of their acceptance into the program and may maintain membership in the Youth Commission until they graduate from high school.
