CHINO VALLEY TOWN OFFICIALS COULD GET MORE INPUT FROM THE YOUTH OF THE COMMUNITY IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE TOWN COUNCIL HEARD A PRESENTATION ON THE PROPOSED MAYOR’S YOUTH COUNCIL AT TUESDAY’S MEETING. IT WOULD CONSIST OF SIX STUDENTS FROM CHINO VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL WHO WOULD HELP THE TOWN COUNCIL IDENTIFY ISSUES THAT IMPACT YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY AND COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS FOR THEM. 

THE TOWN GOVERNMENT WOULD TAKE APPLICATIONS FROM INTERESTED STUDENTS STARTING NEXT YEAR, AND THE YOUTH COUNCIL WOULD BE FORMED DURING THE 2025 FISCAL YEAR. TOWN OFFICIALS SAY ALONG WITH LEARNING THE INNER WORKINGS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT, THE YOUTH COUNCIL IS A GREAT RESUME BUILDER AND WILL HELP ESTABLISH NETWORKS THAT COULD BENEFIT COUNCIL MEMBERS IN THE FUTURE.
