The Sugar Hill Youth Council strives to acquire a greater knowledge of and appreciation for the American political system through active participation in local government. The Youth Council assists Mayor and City Council by facilitating open dialogue and discussion regarding issues related to youth in Sugar Hill.
Mimicking the Sugar Hill City Council, this organization has a Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, six youth council members and begins each meeting with a call to order before agenda items are discussed. Members implement change within the city and their respective high schools, taking on challenges such as recycling and financial literacy. During their weekly meetings members speak with city staff, councilmembers, and leaders in the Sugar Hill community. They learn the fundamentals of local government by discussing policy, current events, strategies for community building and also seek opportunities to engage the public through events and volunteerism in Sugar Hill.
Applications close on August 22.
