The 2010-11 membership of the Lewiston Youth
Advisory Council (LYAC) was appointed on July 13, 2010, by Mayor Laurent
F. Gilbert Sr. The appointed youth had completed an application/interview
process and will serve a one-year term. The youth council was established
by the Lewiston City Council in October 2001, and the charter group first
met in September of 2002. This ninth-year membership consists of seven
returning members and eight new members.

The LYAC logo was initially
developed by Katie Lauze, and following input by the rest of the Youth
Council, the design to the right was the final result. |

In February 2007, LYAC launched a youth-to-youth underage drinking
awareness initiative encouraging teens to talk with their peers
about underage drinking consequences & health-related dangers.
The creation of the DVD "SMASHED" was part of that effort. |
