The Villars Youth Council

The Villars Youth Council

The Villars Youth Council is an advisory body composed of selected Villars Fellows aged 13 to 23 who demonstrate leadership, engagement, and alignment with the mission of the Villars Institute. Acting as a bridge between Fellows and the Institute’s leadership, the Council provides feedback on programs, organizes events, and fosters deeper engagement within the global Fellowship community. Council members provide recommendations on the design of the Villars Fellowship Program and develop project and ideas to strengthen the community, aiming at connecting Fellows to collaborate and lead systems change together.
