Appointed Commissioners are empowered to gather and express the opinions, ideas, and visions of our county’s youth while gaining valuable leadership skills and knowledge about our county and local government.
Students who have taken advantage of this opportunity in the past report that the skills they learned as Youth Commissioners help them in ways they didn’t expect. From interviewing for jobs, applying for scholarships, and feeling confident in challenging college classes, students praise the impact that the Youth Commission has made in their lives.

- A student in 9th - 12th grade during the 2021-2021 school year
