Youth Council

The Cherokee Youth Council is a committee of diverse area teenagers that come together to tackle the substance use issues facing youth in Cherokee County. These young leaders develop an annual strategic plan for preventing and reducing alcohol and drug abuse among their peers and act as advisors to the Drug Free Cherokee coalition.
