WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Representative August Pfluger has announced the relaunch of the Congressional Youth Advisory Council (CYAC) for high school juniors and seniors in the 11th Congressional District of Texas. The program aims to empower young leaders by providing them with a platform to voice their perspectives on critical issues and engage with government.

"This program aims to foster dialogue, encourage civic engagement, and empower our youth to make a meaningful impact in our communities," said Congressman August Pfluger. "I am thrilled to invite motivated high school students to be part of the Congressional Youth Advisory Council."

The CYAC offers a unique opportunity for passionate and driven young leaders to collaborate with peers, interact directly with Congressman August Pfluger, special guests, and senior staff members in up to four interactive virtual meetings. Participants will also receive special admittance to the Pfluger Youth Leadership Conference in Spring 2024.

The program is open to high school students in the 11th Congressional District of Texas and there is no cost to participate. Congressman Pfluger encourages interested students to apply by completing an application at pfluger.house.gov/services/cyac.htm. The deadline for submissions is December 15, 2023.

Applicants must commit to attending a minimum of three meetings, which will be scheduled after school hours, subject to possible changes in the Congressional calendar. There is also a possibility of earning academic or community service credit through participation in the program.
