The Youth Concilio is a group of youth leaders ages 13-18 from the Canal neighborhood in San Rafael. The youth involved in this group work around issues that go on in their neighborhood and try to create changes to better their community.
The Youth Concilio has worked on projects like implementing a Recycling System in the neighborhood, where recyclers from the community collect and sort out the recyclables and sell them to the buy back center. This project is not only good for the environment, but it has also created jobs for many residents. The Youth Concilio was the winner of the National Geographic Green Effects Project, where they won $20,000 to further their greening efforts.
In addition, the Youth Concilio with the help of the Comite de Vecinos (Adult Supporters) are working along with the city of San Rafael on changing a Towing Ordinance. While this happens the Youth Concilio will be holding Clean Up days in the community on the following dates:
Saturday February 27 from 10-12 pm
Saturday March 13 from 10-12 pm
Saturday April 10 from 10-12 pm
