PLAN TO JOIN THE
WEST AREA YOUTH COUNCIL 2026-27
Do you have some great student leaders in your church? Each year, the West Area Youth Council (WAYC) seeks high school students who are active in their churches and have gifts for leadership. Candidates must be willing to attend meetings (either virtually or in-person) and events to help plan and lead ministries.
The application deadline for the 2025-26 school year has closed, but watch for the application next summer 2026.
Help us spread the word about this unique opportunity for leadership development. Questions? Contact the West Area Office (270) 821-1332.
