The Indio Youth Advisory Council (YAC) is composed of select high school students that reside in the City of Indio. YAC is in essence the voice of the youth of Indio; they sit on the dais, alongside the Indio Mayor and City Council at every City Council Meeting; as well as represent the city at various community events.
