In addition to working with our 10 fellows, we have created a larger group of 20 more community youth to form a Youth Council.  The council's main purpose it to plan a Youth Awareness Week which will be hosted in May.  During monthly meetings and an overnight weekend retreat, participants will identify key issues in the community they would like to address, conduct research surrounding their issues, and analyze the affectiveness of exisiting policies.  During Youth Awareness Week, councilmembers will host various workshops and service events throughout the community in order to spread awareness.  Councilmembers will also present their findings in a Symposium where goverment offices and elected officials as well as community members will be invited to attend.
For more information and to learn how to get involved, please contact Monique Moncayo.
