The National Environmental Youth Advisory Council is an exciting new opportunity for young people between the ages of 16-29. These passionate leaders will provide advice and recommendations to EPA Administrator Michael Regan on EPA’s efforts to address environmental issues as they relate to youth communities. 

As part of EPA’s commitment to environmental justice, at least 50 percent of NEYAC’s membership will come from, reside primarily in, and/or do most of their work in disadvantaged communities (as defined by the federal government’s Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool). 

Selected applicants who become members are appointed to NEYAC for a two-year term.
