About the Youth Commission
The Macon-Bibb County Youth Commission is part of the Association County Commissioners of Georgia’s (ACCG) Georgia Civic Awareness Program for Students (GCAPS). This will be the sixth year for our cohort in our community. Last year, about 30 students from Bibb County public and private high schools were selected after a rigorous application and interview process from an applicant pool of more than 100.
Students in the Youth Commission get to see how government works, what’s changing through consolidation, and how they can be involved with and improve the community now and in the future. Throughout the course of the year, students take part in team-building exercises, attend Commission meetings, tour county facilities, visit the State Capitol and U.S. White House, and interact with local and state leaders.
Pictures from their visits can be seen on their Facebook page, Below are some videos and stories produced by the Office of Public Affairs about their recognitions and visits around Macon-Bibb, the state, and the country.
