Applications Open Aug. 1 for City of Savannah’s Junior Cultural Affairs Commission Program
SAVANNAH – The City of Savannah’s Cultural Resources Department is seeking the next cohort of students for the 2025-2026 Junior Cultural Affairs Commission (Jr. CAC) program.
Jr. CAC is a companion program to The Cultural Affairs Commission (CAC) designed to offer school-aged youth an opportunity to help shape arts and culture in Savannah. CAC is an 18-member board appointed by the Mayor and Alderman who advise and recommend arts and cultural programming for the City of Savannah.
Students who sit on Jr. CAC will review Cultural Contribution funded programs and supply input on how art and cultural programming impacts local youth and their communities. They will also help develop future art, culture, and history programming for the City of Savannah.
Applications are open to students in grades 9-12 who attend a public or a private school and live within Savannah city limits. Applications will run from Aug. 1 to Aug. 31. Students who are selected for Jr. CAC will also have the opportunity to earn volunteer hours.
Interested students and parents can learn more and apply at savannahga.gov/jrcac.
