Green Youth Advisory Council

Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful’s 2025-2026

Green Youth Advisory Council

With a vast number of its programs and events either involving local youth or geared to families, school green teams and civic groups like Girls & Boy Scouts of America, it makes all the sense in the world to look toward youth leaders for key insights on how to engage a new generation of environmental stewards. To that end, Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful (GC&B) – a Keep America Beautiful affiliate – is proud to have its own Green Youth Advisory Council to help evolve programs and engage other young people within the community.
