National Board of Youth Counselors

The National Board of Youth Counselors is a space created to allow the representation of young people of the country, with the aim of sharing their situation and dynamics and to maintain dialogue with the youth agenda and the issues that affect them with the national government. The Board is comprised of delegates of the Departmental and District Councils of Youths as well as delegates of Youth Organizations, Rural Dwellers, Ethnic, Indigenous, Afro-Colombian, Negros, Palenqueros and Raizales Organizations. The purpose of the creation of this Board is to be in accordance with the National Youth Council, which has not yet begun although it is designated in statutory law 1622 of 2013: the "Youth Citizenship Statute". To date (2016) the Council has not started because the law has not been regulated to the way in which the elections of the Municipal and Departmental Youth Councils must be carried out. Once the Council comes into operation, the Board must end.
