ABOUT MYC
The Multnomah Youth Commission (MYC) is the official youth policy body to the Multnomah County Board and Portland City Council. This diverse group of youth (ages 13-21) live, work, attend school, and/or attend an out-of-school program in Multnomah County or the City of Portland. Youth commissioners provide advice about the decisions the City & County make that affect young people. They also advocate for a youth agenda of positive policy changes, guided by “Our Bill of Rights: Children & Youth”, the nation’s first Bill of Rights written for and by young people. Providing a voice for our community’s youth, the MYC is supported and funded by the Multnomah County Office of Diversity and Equity (ODE) and the City of Portland Office of Community and Civic Life.

Decisions are made every day that affect the lives of young people, many times with little to no input from those impacted by the decisions. The purpose of the MYC is to involve youth in all levels of community decision-making.
