To be appointed through MASC, on the application, you need to check the Maryland Association of Student Councils for the question “How did you hear about the Maryland Youth Advisory Council?”

The Governor of Maryland, the President of the Maryland Senate, and the Speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates appoints Council members. In addition, the Governor’s Office for Children appoints council members nominated by the Maryland Association of Student Councils, the University System of Maryland Student Council, the Maryland Higher Education Commission Student Advisory Council, and the Local Management Boards.

Council members will be selected with consideration of gender, race, and geographic area to ensure a diverse representation of Maryland’s youth statewide.

Applications are open from March 1 through June 30th every year.   For MASC appointments, MYAC will send MASC applications that have checked off MASC and MASC will appoint and then confirm their appointments at the August Executive Board meeting.

The form linked above will guide you through the process of completing the first application component. The letter of recommendation and resume must then be submitted via email to mysiki.valentine@maryland.gov
