Background
The Bellevue Youth Council is the largest organizational body of
Bellevue Youth Link, and all Bellevue Youth Link members are required to
attend two monthly meetings held at Bellevue City Hall. The council also
hears presentations from guest speakers about events in the community
and local government, and is responsible for originating and planning
monthly service projects.
Service Projects
Every month, the Bellevue Youth Council, as a group, undertakes service project to improve the community. In the past, these
projects have ranged from local food drives to fund-raisers for
international aid (such as the recent Tsunami Victims Relief Dance).
Some special events the BYC has participated in:
-
Tsunami Victims Relief Dance
-
"Trick-or-Treat for Cans" Food Drive
-
Crossroads Thanksgiving Dinner
-
Winter Holiday Gift Wrapping
-
"Every Student Is A Winner" Fair
-

Bellevue Youth Council Meetings
The Council meets on the first and third Wednesday of every month. The
first meeting is a planning meeting where the
council hears updates from Action Teams and plans projects, while the
second meeting of each month has a broader focus featuring guest speakers or social event.
