LCYAC is primarily funded through a Drug - Free Communities Support Program Grant provided by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). We receive additional support funding from many sources including Latah County Board of County Commissioners, Latah County Youth Services, Moscow Rotary Club, and the kindness of many individuals in our county.
In addition to our Council we also assist and support three community task forces. Let's Get It Started (LGIS) is located in the Potlatch area, Youth In Crisis Committee (YICC) is located in the Troy area, Advisory Council to Improve Our Neighborhood (ACTION) is located in the Kendrick-Juliaetta area of Latah County.
