Office on Youth, County Administrator, Board of Supervisors, and the youth of Orange County. They provide feedback on needs of the youth and issues they face. Over the past two years, this group has been working with a local task force on the opioid issue and many were trained on how to give Narcan. The Council meets annually with their state representatives and discusses issues important to them. They decide at the beginning of each school year what their activities will be and what their focus will be. They raised money for Michael ’ s Gift, the Orange County Animal Shelter, hosted several blood drives, adopted a section of highway, and completed many more community service projects.
The Office on Youth is always open to new ideas and programs. Funding is always the biggest hurdle as most of their programs are funded by fundraisers, sponsorships, and or grants. Program information can be found on the Office on Youth webpage: http://orangecountyva.gov/276/Office - on - Youth or please contact the office at (540) 672 - 5484.
