Mayor Forms Youth Council for Star Students
Published Aug 17, 2009

Wichita Mayor Carl Brewer has organized a Youth Advisory Council. Why? To provide Wichita youth with the opportunity to weigh in on community issues and learn about city government.

The council is made up of 40 Wichita high school students in grades nine through 11 who are interested in making Wichita a better place to live. Students periodically meet with city officials to discuss the concerns and aspirations of young people living in Wichita.

Students on the Youth Advisory Council also elect their own mayor, vice mayor, seven council chairs, city manager, clerk of council and sergeant-at-arms. The remaining 28 members represent the general council.
