Young people urged to apply for Youth City Council

  • 2016-03-28
Youngsters who want to understand how government works are encouraged to learn by participating in it.

Cottonwood Heights officials are now accepting applications from those who want to serve on its Youth City Council.

This opportunity is open to students in the ninth through twelfth grades. They will be able to work with the city's government, as well as serving the community. The Youth City Council holds regular meetings twice a month. In addition, its members will be expected to help with events sponsored by the city, such as the yearly Easter egg hunt, and the celebration of Butlerville Days.

Young people interested in joining the council must either live inside the city's boundaries, or be attending high school in Cottonwood Heights. They will also participate in an interview with the council's advisers, and attend a short orientation.

Applications to join the council will be accepted through 5:00 pm this Friday, April 1. The interview and orientation for new members will be held either April 4 or 5 at City Hall.

City officials who want to encourage young people's participation in this effort could work with a poster printing company to create attractive Posters to put in city schools. They could also create Brochures to accompany the posters, explaining the opportunity and duties to be performed.
