A group of English-speaking Czech young adults (ages 18-30) who advise the U.S. Ambassador and the U.S. Embassy on how to more effectively engage with Czech youth, and who work collaboratively on projects to improve their communities and build U.S.-Czech relations. Youth Council members meet one on one with the U.S. Ambassador and other key Embassy policy leaders, getting both direct access and insight to the U.S. foreign policy process. Members have the opportunity to help shape and guide Embassy outreach and programs, and can take advantage of membership in the Council to develop grants application and project management experience.
