What Is FEMA National Youth Preparedness Council?
FEMA's National Youth Preparedness Council brings grades 8-11 student leaders from across the agency's ten regions together for a one-year term focused on disaster preparedness and community resilience. Members collaborate virtually on local and national projects, contribute youth perspectives, and engage with FEMA, federal-government, and nonprofit emergency-management leaders. Selection weighs public-service commitment, demonstrated community impact, and potential to expand as a national preparedness leader.
The last confirmed application was for the July 2025–July 2026 class. It closed March 3, 2025 and required a completed form plus two recommendation letters. That term has ended. FEMA still maintains the program and current youth-preparedness materials, but no official 2026–27 application, cohort, deadline, fee, summit, travel benefit, or exact time commitment was located as of August 21, 2026.
