The young people of today are the leaders of tomorrow, and their legacy begins with the opportunities and experiences afforded to them in these formative years of life. When we empower our youth to get involved, make a difference, and make their voices heard in our community, it sets the stage for a future of engaged community and civic leaders. If the young person in your life is looking to make a difference this school year, the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council is a wonderful way for the leaders of tomorrow to begin making a difference today.
