Make a Difference!
If you think there is nothing for youth and teens to do in Columbia, then here is your opportunity to get involved and be a part of the solution. CA's Teen and Middle School advisory committees have monthly meetings to help young people get involved in their community by planning, organizing and implementing positive programs and activities for their peers.
We are currently accepting middle and high schoolers for the 2017-18 school year to be members of their respective advisory committees. Meetings will be held on the first Thursday of the month. There is no meeting in October. Our next meeting is Thursday, Nov. 2 at 6:30pm.
