This council is made up of Junior and Senior High youth, parents, advisors and church officers. The group is elected to serve as representatives for everyone involved in the SVPC Youth Program. Their responsibilities include: setting and maintaining goals for the program, planning and leading events, making policy decisions, making disciplinary decisions (if necessary), advertising the program and encouraging volunteers. At the end of every school year, youth may apply to be on the Youth Council and are expected to serve for two years.
