SIYAC - State of Iowa Youth Advisory Council

The State of Iowa Youth Advisory Council (SIYAC) is a non-partisan policy advising organization comprised of youth from across the state. The council meets quarterly in Des Moines and all members are active in local youth groups, organizations, councils, or committees in their schools and communities. View the list of 2009-2010 SIYAC Members.

SIYAC was established in 2001 by Governor Vilsack as a way in which high-school youth could communicate and inform legislative decisions. Over the years, several state agencies within the Iowa Collaboration for Youth Development have supported SIYAC by offering staff support, allowing employees to serve as mentors, and by using the collective SIYAC voice to help guide state-wide projects impacting youth.
