And just like that, a new year begins!

Last night, members of the 2026โ€“2027 Mayorโ€™s Youth Council were officially sworn in during the Abbeville City Council meeting.

This year, 24 students were selected, our largest group yet.

Every year since this program began, we have seen more young people interested in getting involved. This year was no exception. We had an incredible response to applications and, even after expanding the number of members selected, we simply could not accept everyone who applied.

That growth means something. Young people across Vermilion Parish want a seat at the table. They want opportunities to serve, learn and be involved in their communities.

Our new council represents six schools across Vermilion Parish โ€” Abbeville High School, Vermilion Catholic, North Vermilion High School, VCA Upper 5-12, Kaplan High School and Erath High School โ€” along with one student from Southside High School. Over the next year these students will learn about local government, meet leaders from throughout our community, volunteer, participate in events and work together on projects of their own.

To our returning members, welcome back. To our new members, welcome to AMYC.

We recently wrapped up our year with an end-of-year fun day! While not every member was able to join us, those who attended made the most of the day by spending time together, sharing plenty of laughs, and celebrating a successful year.

Throughout the year, these students learned about civic engagement, local government, and community leadership. Just as importantly, they built friendships with fellow students from different schools and backgrounds across Vermilion Parish, connections they may not have otherwise had the opportunity to make.

We are proud of each member for their commitment to serving their community and look forward to seeing what they accomplish in the future. Thank you for a great year, AMYC!

Congratulations to Trinity on graduating from Vermilion Catholic High School!

Over the past two years, Trinity has proudly served as a member of the Abbeville Mayorโ€™s Youth Council and was one of the founding members who helped build the program from the very beginning.

Through her leadership, involvement, and dedication, Trinity helped shape AMYC into the group it is today and made a lasting impact on both the council and her fellow members.

While she will certainly be missed, we are excited to see where this next chapter takes her and cannot wait to watch all she accomplishes in the future.

Congratulations again, Trinity!

This week, some members of the Abbeville Mayorโ€™s Youth Council celebrated their Ring Ceremony at Abbeville High School.

Congratulations to Jaylie, Jah'Zyren, Karleijah, and Aaliyah as they officially begin their senior year journey.

Watching these students grow through the program has been something truly special. Over the past year, they have stepped into leadership roles, become more confident, and continued finding ways to make a positive impact in both their school and community.

It was an honor to celebrate this important moment with them, and we cannot wait to see all they accomplish during their senior year and beyond. Their future is incredibly bright.

As the year is coming to a close for the Abbeville Mayorโ€™s Youth Council, our final meeting gave members the opportunity to reflect on the past year, the lessons they learned, the experiences they shared, and even topics they wished they could have explored more.

Over the last two years, this group has truly grown into something special. Watching these students build friendships, step into leadership roles, gain confidence, and become more involved in their community has been incredible to witness.

While it is hard to believe the year is already over, this group will absolutely be missed. Each member brought something unique to the council, and we are excited to see what the future holds for all of them as they continue into new chapters and opportunities ahead.

We also hope to see many familiar faces return next year and inspire future student leaders in our community.

Thank you to every student who helped make this year memorable.

This past weekend, several members took part in the Community Wellness Volleyball Jamboree at AA Comeaux Park.

Our team, made up of some of the youngest players, along with Mayor White and our AMYC liaison, may not have taken home the top title, but we had a great time competing, laughing, and being part of something bigger than the game.

More than anything, the day was about coming together as a community. From the teams on the court to the families and organizations supporting the event, it was a great reminder of what makes Abbeville special.

And the best part it was all for a great cause.
