Lewiston Youth Advisory Council

LYAC Logo
The Lewiston Youth Advisory Council (LYAC) was established by the Lewiston City Council in 2001, with the Charter membership first meeting in September 2002. 

Since then, members have worked closely with municipal staff, officials, and members of the community on various initiatives that have been very positive for the All-America City (AAC) of Lewiston--to include assisting the City in becoming an AAC municipality - the first Maine community in 40 years.

On July 19, 2011, the 2011-2012 membership was recognized during the evening's City Council meeting.  Those serving are:
