Mayor’s Youth Council
The goal of the Mayor’s Youth Council is to develop youth led activities that engage youth as leaders and decision makers.
The main target population is students that are on or above grade level. This is an extra-curricular activity that is meant to provide young people with additional opportunities and support to give them the skills they need to fully develop as leaders and decision makers. Students will have the opportunity in a non-instructional environment to develop the skills and attributes needed to be successful in life such as responsibility, integrity, critical thinking and problem solving skills. We will also focus on self-awareness, empathy, self-confidence, empowerment and self-advocacy and self-care.
The group meets weekly in the evenings, 6:00 – 7:00 pm in the Youth Bureau Computer Room.
