The City of Draper and Mayor Darrell Smith are proud to announce a new and exciting opportunity for the rising 9th-11th grade students.
The new Draper City Mayor’s Youth Council will provide our youth an opportunity to increase their knowledge of civic education through practical hands-on experience. The Youth Council will be composed of twelve 9th-12th grade students who will be charged with representing youth in the City of Draper.
The Mayor’s Youth Council will:
•Involve youth in local government through participation on local boards and committees.
• Increase youth voice and communication in Draper’s future.
• Increase
volunteerism among youth and adults in civic affairs; and
• Enhance civic education through teacher/community training.
We will be distributing applications through schools this month. Applications will also be available on the city website (www.draper.ut.us) and at City Hall. All applications will be due January 31, 2011. The selection process will occur in February, with our first activity scheduled for March 2011. Please discuss this exciting opportunity with your rising 9th grader or high school student and encourage them to apply for service on the Draper City Mayor’s Youth Council.
If you have additional questions about this program, please contact Stefania Wilks at (801)576-6584 or Stefania.wilks@draper.ut.us.
