The U.S. Ambassador's Youth Council (USYC) is an organization founded in 2014 by Ambassador Marci B. Reese. USYC brings together young, active Bulgarians united by a common mission and goals. The primary activities of the organization consist of advising the U.S. Embassy on the issues faced by young people in the country, creating opportunities for youth to develop personally and professionally, and empowering them to develop creative, practical, and concrete solutions to the problems confronting young people in Bulgaria.

The Youth Council of the American Ambassador in Bulgaria is a community that aims to make a visible and sustainable contribution to the development of young people in Bulgaria by focusing on five main priorities: informal education, human rights, youth employment and entrepreneurship, leadership skills development, and maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle.
