Youth Commission

The Youth Commission advises and assists the City Council, the School Committee, and the City Manager in the development of policies, programs, and delivery of services for health and welfare of youth and their families.  The Commission regularly assesses the needs of youth as individuals and community members, in order to advocate for, coordinate, and/or develop policies and programs to address these needs. The eleven members, ages 13-20, enrolled in a public, private, or charter high school are appointed by the City Manager and hold a one year term.  If you are interested in serving on the Youth Commission, please contact the City Manager.
