City of Dublin Youth Council

City of Dublin Youth Council The Youth Council Program provides an opportunity for high school students to learn how local government works and to participate in the process.

The purpose of the Youth Council Program is to provide a means for high school youth of the city of Dublin to learn about government, participate in the process, and to represent and articulate the needs of the community's youth. The overall objective of the program is to provide an opportunity for the Youth of the City of Dublin to:
1. Acquire a greater knowledge and appreciation for the politica

l system through active participation in local government.
2. Learn how local municipal government works and how municipal services are provided.
3. Provide a means by which the City's youth can be heard and share their perspective on issues affecting the lives of young people in areas of social, educational, recreational, cultural and law enforcement.
4. Assist the Mayor, City Council and City Staff of the City of Dublin in policy and decision-making, problem solving and accomplishing community goals.
5. Provide leadership development and experience that will enable the youth to become productive citizens and leaders in the community. The Youth will have opportunities to meet with the Mayor and City Councilors, City staff and other officials, tour public facilities, and assist the Mayor and City Council in addressing matters that directly affect them. There is no cost to participate in the program. Applicants, however, must attend a high school within the Dublin-Laurens County Community. They must be academically eligible to participate in their school’s sports or extra-curricular activities, and be a Sophomore, Junior or Senior during the program year, which will follow the school calendar year. The Youth Council consists of a Mayor & Councilmembers who represent each ward within the city limits, with additional members serving At-Large. The term is for 1 year. However, members may campaign to serve for more than one year, depending on their past record and eligibility. Additional positions include City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk, & City Historian. Youth Council meetings are held at Dublin City Hall twice a month. The public and all interested persons are invited to attend.
