Youth Corps
| The Youth Corps was established by Executive Order on August 17, 2020, and is open to anyone under the age of 23 who is interested in engaging with the county government. The purpose of the Youth Corps is to connect with the County Executive’s Office, keep up-to-date with issues pertaining to youth in the county, and build a network of individuals committed to improving the county for everyone who lives here. |  |
Members can be active in community initiatives or simply learn about community programs and resources. It’s up to you.
Members of the Youth Advisory Council and County Executive interns are automatically members of the Youth Corps.

Youth Advisory Council
The Youth Advisory Council, first formed in August 2020, is a group of Anne Arundel County students who meet directly with the County Executive's Office monthly to discuss and create strategies that address issues important to them. Members are selected through an application process and serve a one year term.
The YAC Application period for 2022-2023 is now closed.
County Executive Internships
The County Executive’s Internship Program is designed to identify and develop the talents of our county’s youth and young adults. There are opportunities for high school juniors and seniors as well as college undergraduate and graduate students throughout the year. The program provides students with an opportunity to experience the fast-paced nature of a professional office, to build networks and relationships, to experience the role of public service in communities, and to develop new knowledge and skills that may give direction to their professional lives.
