EPA has announced the agency’s first-ever National Environmental Youth Advisory Council (NEYAC) to provide advice and recommendations to Administrator Michael S. Regan on how to increase the EPA’s efforts to address a range of environmental issues as they relate to youth communities.
EPA is soliciting applications for youth to fill 16 vacancies on the NEYAC. Selected applicants will contribute to a balance of perspectives, backgrounds, and experience of the council and will be appointed by the Administrator. As a first-of-its-kind committee, all members of NEYAC will be between the ages of 16 and 29.
