Greater Lowell Workforce Investment Board
Youth Council
The Greater Lowell Workforce Investment Board (GLWIB) and the Career Center of Lowell (CCL) have for the past several years maintained a solid slate of dedicated volunteers in the community who serve in an advisory capacity to the GLWIB and the Career Center. The Youth Council meets on a quarterly basis and recommends program initiatives and provides oversight for WIA and other State supported grants for economically disadvantaged youth.
The complexion of the Youth Council mirrors the community and represents the diverse citizenry of Lowell and the Greater Lowell community. State and local agencies who send representatives to the Youth Council are listed below.
Members must go through an approval process by the GLWIB. For more information, please contact Barbara O'Neil at 978-805-4804
