The Kansas DropINs Youth Council provides Kansas youth a voice in the dropout prevention discussion. The Council is composed of 15 youth who represent eight regions of the state.

At the regional pre-summits youth council members assisted with the conversation in their region. At the Dropout Prevention Summit in Wichita, youth council members served on a youth panel, assisted in breakout sessions, helped at the registration table, introduced keynote speakers and managed the youth summit. At the January post-summits, they helped their regions prioritize challenges and identify solutions.
