The Orange County Youth Council (OCYC) includes students from across Orange County who are part of the Friday Night Live (FNL) chapter at their high school. These students serve as an advisory group to provide guidance and a youth voice for countywide teen substance use prevention and other issues of concern. In addition, for the 2025-2026 school year, the OCYC will take an active role in conducting projects and activities to support the prevention of youth opioid misuse in Orange County.

Applications for the 2025-2026 OCYC will be released on August 8, 2025 and the deadline to apply is September 7, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. Youth must be involved with FNL at their high school for a minimum of one school year to apply for OCYC.
