The Attorney General's office is currently seeking applications for the Attorney General’s Student Advisory Council 2026-2027 cohort. They are inviting Utah juniors and seniors to apply and gain hands-on experience with civic education, public policy, and community service. Their goal is to foster leadership, encourage education beyond the classroom, and build a generation of informed, community-minded individuals.
This council offers young leaders a chance to collaborate, share fresh perspectives, and make a positive community impact. In the past, cohorts have provided valuable feedback on initiatives like L.E.T.S. Stay Safe Utah, the SafeUT App, and on several pieces of proposed legislation.
Applications for the 2026/2027 school year are now open, and applications are due September 4th. Apply here:
