LOS ANGELES - On Saturday, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) held the 2026 Youth Town Hall and announced that applications for the 36th Congressional District's Youth Advisory Council are now open and will be accepted through Friday, June 26, 2026. The Youth Advisory Council provides a unique opportunity for students to meet with a diverse group of peers, discuss issues of importance and consider ways of getting involved locally. They will recommend bills for the Congressman to cosponsor and brainstorm bill ideas of their own. The group will work directly with Congressman Lieu's staff to collaborate on key issues impacting young people in California's 36th district. Students in 9th through 12th grade that live or attend school in the district are eligible to apply.
"I'm pleased to announce that applications for our 2026-2027 Youth Advisory Council are now open! Our district is home to many bright young individuals who are passionate about public service and eager to get involved, and our Youth Advisory Council provides a forum for them to do just that. Each year, I am grateful to work with these inspiring individuals to ensure young voices are heard in Washington. I look forward to welcoming a new group of students to our Youth Advisory Council and encourage all interested students to apply!"
