The Youth Council Council concept began in 1995 and was envisaged as a means of integrating and sensitizing the youths of Jamaica about the operations of Local Government through the Local Authorities. Youth Councils are held by Municipal Corporations annually as part of efforts to educate students about the country's Local Governmenet System. A day is select by the Local Authorities during which students replace their Parish Councillors for a day when special Youth Council's are staged. This is seen as the crowning facet in the concept.
