We 💯 are so proud to support the Largo Youth Leadership Council, sponsored by the City of Largo, Florida USA. Another civic program we award a grant to from Death by Chocolate 2025 🍫 -- congratulations!

These motivated 8th through 12th-grade students participate in community service, earn volunteer hours, and take part in city-wide initiatives such as environmental awareness, neighborhood beautification, and the annual Youth Mental Health Festival. The council provides a direct voice for the younger generation to the Largo City Commission, allowing students to learn about municipal operations and shadow city leaders.

The City of Largo is proud to announce that Mayor Woody Brown, Intergovernmental Relations Coordinator Chris Hawks, and Legislative Aide Carson King have been recognized by the Florida League of Cities, Inc. as 2026 Home Rule Heroes.

This statewide honor is awarded to local officials and municipal advocates who demonstrate a strong commitment to protecting Home Rule, the principle that local communities should have the authority to make decisions that best serve their residents. Each year, the Florida League of Cities recognizes individuals who go above and beyond in engaging with lawmakers, sharing the real-world impacts of proposed legislation, and ensuring the voices of Florida’s cities are heard in Tallahassee.
