Youth Engagement Council Apps Due

A great opportunity for learning and development is available for local students - Fort Wayne high school students are being offered the opportunity to apply for the Mayor's Youth Engagement Council. Members of the Council will identify ways they can address some of the community's most urgent issues through connections with stakeholders in non-profit organizations, the business community, and youth agencies.

The Council will have up to 25 members, and applicants must be city residents and currently high school freshmen, sophomores or juniors in public, private or home schools. Applications must be faxed or postmarked by April 5, and students selected for in-person interviews will be contacted by May 5 with final selections to be made this summer.
The application requires student information, short answer, two adult references and parent or guardian permission. The Council will meet once a month for 60 to 90 minutes beginning in August. Members will be required to make a 12-month commitment.
