Being part of the Goodyear Youth Commission has taught me how to serve the community and learn what it means to be a leader.”
2019-2020 Youth Commission Chair Gabriella Burton, Millenium High School
Goodyear high school students interested in learning how local government works and how their city operates may apply to join the Goodyear Youth Commission.
“I’m extremely proud of this youth program and to be able to give these students, our future leaders, an opportunity to provide their input on city services,” Mayor Georgia Lord said in a news release. “It is important for our youth to be engaged with their community.”
The Goodyear Youth Commission provides an opportunity for students to develop leadership skills through involvement in city government, and creates a format for students to express their voices on a variety of youth-related issues such as youth programming, recreation opportunities and special events.
“Being part of the Goodyear Youth Commission has taught me how to serve the community and learn what it means to be a leader,” Gabriella Burton, a Millenium High School student serving as 2019-20 Youth Commission chair, stated in the release.
The Youth Commission is open to high school students in Goodyear, or students entering high school in fall 2020. Applications are due Friday, May 22.
In addition to contact information, the application asks students to list organizations and groups they belong to, extracurricular activities, current or past offices held, awards and significant accomplishments. It also asks applicants to share their strong points, how their membership on the commission will benefit Goodyear, something they’ve accomplished and what project they would like to help implement if selected to serve on the commission.
