YOU ARE INVITED! Come and become part of our Youth Council!
Youth Council FAQ:
Anyone! The Youth Council is open to all youth in the community grades 7-12.
Middle School Council meets Tuesdays at 3:30pm and the High School Council meets on Thursdays at 6pm. Both groups meet at the Rec Center (middle school members can take the bus afterschool and stay at the Rec Center until the meeting).
Youth Council members, along with NYS staff, bring ideas and suggestions to the group. The group looks for projects, campaigns, and events that they are interested in doing as a group. All projects have the goal of improving the community for children and/or families.
The Youth Council is a youth-led group. NYS hires and provides support to teen leaders.
