About the Macon-Bibb Youth Commission 

The 2016-2017 school year will be the fourth year Macon-Bibb County has sponsored the Macon-Bibb Youth Commission, which is part of the Association County Commissioners of Georgia’s (ACCG) Georgia Civic Awareness Program for Students (GCAPS). (The former Bibb County participated for the two years prior to consolidation.) More than 30 students participated in the program during the 2015-2016 school year, and videos and news about their trips can be found in the links below. Students in the Youth Commission will see how government works, what’s changing through consolidation, and how they can be involved with and improve the community now and in the future. Throughout the course of the year, students will take part in team-building exercises, attend Commission meetings, tour county facilities, visit the State Capitol, attend the ACCG Conference in Savannah, and interact with local and state leaders.
