Last night, we were proud to recognize the 2025-2026 Mayor’s Youth Council members for their hard work and commitment. This group of students has spent the year learning more about their city, meeting with local leaders and exploring different careers, all while showing up as leaders in their schools and community. Each of them received a certificate recognizing their completion of the program.

We’re excited to see what’s next for each of you, and we hope this experience has helped you see just how much potential you have and how much your community believes in you! Congratulations! 🎉
