The Gozo Youth Council is a platform which gathers under its remit the Gozitan Youth NGOs and the Gozitan Youths who work and study in Malta, amounting to over 3000 youths in total.

For the past year the GYC has been working on iLead – The Creative Leader Academy which gathered together over 60 Gozitan Youths who have trained themselves in the fields of creative thinking and leadership skills.

Its members comprise youth organisations based in Gozo and also young people who are not members or active in organisations but have the interest of Gozo and its future at heart. This places the Gozo Youth Council as the voice of Gozitan youths and the main stakeholder in its civil society, the council said.

The Gozo Youth Council in collaboration with the MCCF Office Gozo is organising a marathon spanning over 48 hours with the aim of promoting sports within the community while creating a youthful atmosphere and helping society.
