The Youth Advisory Board’s coat drive is an easy way for area residents to pass along coats and jackets they no longer need. All donated coats will be given to the Wake Forest Boys & Girls Club for distribution to local people in need.
The Youth in Government Advisory Board was established to provide Wake Forest’s youth with an active role in addressing community issues and to serve as a voice for young people in all facets of the community. The board researches issues and makes presentations to the Board of Commissioners and sponsors informational events for area youth.
