Youth Council

The Blue Mountains Youth Council is here to represent you! Our goal is to have the views of young people heard by our Town and to be consulted on issues that affect us. We welcome all newcomers to our meetings-power in numbers!

What we are working on

  • A Community Youth Garden -promoting organic and local food as well as intergenerational mentorships.
  • A Youth Friendly Business Recognition Program- building relationships with and giving recognition to businesses that support local Youth.
  • Local activism- Greening our community!

Why get involved?

You don’t have to wait until you are out of school or over 15 to be a leader. You can have sway and a strong presence in your community right now! You have every right to take a stand and push for something you feel is lacking or fight for something you don’t want to see go. Not only is it satisfying to accomplish such goals but it looks great on your resume. You can build amazing networking skills and contacts, strengthen our community and have fun!

Commitment

We know you are busy so we try to keep our meetings to once a month. However, closer to event days we may request that more participation is necessary. Lots of dialogue via facebook and email is great too!
