EPA Invites Youth to Serve on Agency’s First-Ever National Environmental
Youth Advisory Council
Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the formal
establishment of the agency’s first-ever National Environmental Youth
Advisory Council (NEYAC). The NEYAC will provide independent advice and
recommendations to Administrator Michael S. Regan on how to increase EPA’s
efforts to address a range of environmental issues as they relate to youth
communities. The NEYAC will provide a critical perspective on how the impacts
of climate change and other environmental harms affect youth communities. The
Administrator announced his intent to launch the youth council last June at
the Austrian World Summit.
EPA is soliciting applications for youth to fill 16 vacancies on the NEYAC.
Selected applicants will contribute to a balance of perspectives, backgrounds,
and experience of the council and will be appointed by the Administrator. As a
first-of-its-kind committee, all members of NEYAC will be between the ages of
16 and 29. 
As part of the agency’s commitment to centering environmental justice
communities, at least 50% of the overall membership of NEYAC will come from,
reside primarily in, and/or do most of their work in disadvantaged communities
as defined by the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) as part
of Justice40. 
“We can’t tackle the environmental challenges of our time without input
from our younger communities, who’ve long been at the forefront of social
movements,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “This committee will
help ensure that the voices and perspectives of our youth are included and
valued in EPA’s decision-making as we continue to advance President
Biden’s commitment to ensuring everyone in this country has access to clean
air, safe water and healthy land, now and for generations to come.”
Applications to the NEYAC are due by August 22, 2023 at 11:59PM ET. To apply
