Led by Diane Huggins of LifePoint Hospital, Inc., the purpose of the Youth Council is to provide oversight, direction and leadership to youth activities in the regional workforce investment area comprised of Davidson, Rutherford, Wilson, and Trousdale counties.

To enhance the productivity and competitiveness of the Area youth, the Council gives guidance with the intent to increase graduation rates, employability, and the basic skills of school age youth, and increase employment, earnings, post-secondary training opportunities, including apprenticeship and entry into the military, for older youth.
