Serving on the Presbytery Youth Council (PYC) is a unique way for high school youth to grow in their faith in Jesus Christ.  Youth who serve on the PYC will also gain valuable leadership skills, learn more about the Presbyterian Church (USA), forge lasting friendships, and serve the church in an important, challenging way.  The PYC is composed of youth and adults from Central Florida Presbytery.  No more than two youth from the same church may serve on the PYC with a maximum number of youth being 20.  Youth serving on the PYC are nominated by their churches through an application process.  Adults and youth serve on the Presbytery Youth Council in a 1:5 ratio. 
 
The PYC of the Central Florida Presbytery has primary responsibilities for:
  • Planning and implementing Presbytery-wide youth events and retreats. 
  • Providing a balance of quality programming that offers opportunities for fellowship, study, service, worship, and discipleship. 
  • Promoting opportunities for youth participation in the Presbytery, Synod, and General Assembly.
  • Serving as liaisons for promotion and communication of events between local churches and the Presbytery Youth Council
 
Youth who serve on the PYC must:
  • Be active participants in their local church and youth group.
  • Be between the summer before 9th grade and the summer before 12th grade. 
  • Be an exemplary role model for other youth and refrain from abuse of any controlled substances (drugs, alcohol, and tobacco). 
  • Be willing to learn new skills and take risks in leadership roles. 
  • Be willing to commit to making the Presbytery Youth Council a priority in their schedules and be regular in attendance at meetings and events.  Usually 7 meetings/events per year. 
  • Be willing to abide by all PYC policies found in the by-laws.
