About the youth council
A platform for representation, empowerment, and structured engagement for young people across the LCDA.
The Iru-VI LCDA Youth Council is the umbrella body for youth organisations within the local council development area. Comprising elected youth leaders from every ward, the council serves as the voice of young people in local governance and community affairs.
The Youth Council works in partnership with the LCDA administration to drive programmes that address youth unemployment, skills development, civic participation, and social welfare, while encouraging young residents to become active contributors to the growth of their community.
