According to the mission of the Youth Congress, its elected officials are youth representatives in the community whose goal is not only to learn about making policy or being involved in electoral, legislative, and governmental processes, but to go one step further by working to plan, develop, and implement programs that promote real youth progress.
Elected student officials will develop and promote active participation from the youth in community issues to meet the challenges of the future and to foster leadership in young adults.
