Congratulations to Sophomore, Abby Hoos and Junior Alexandra Silva for being appointed to the very first Menifee Youth Advisory Committee. Abby and Alexandra will serve on the committee for a one year term. Both students had to complete an extensive application and underwent a three hour interview, which included a hands on project before being appointed to the committee. Abby said she had spent many hours over the summer perfecting her answers in the application and writing her essay. Alexandra stated that the process of getting elected to the council was a fun one. At the interview potential students were spilt into teams, they had to do a few assignments to show their sills as team members. Alexandra believes they will be able to offer input into many of the city’s decisions and have a great impact on the community while speaking for the youth of Menifee.
We are very proud of the leadership and community service these students are taking on.
The purpose of the Youth Advisory Committee is to promote public service and community involvement, with, for and by youth, review proposals for programs, projects and facilities as they pertain to youth; promote youth involvement in community events, programs or volunteer projects through public education, the schools and community organizations; and act in an advisory capacity to the City Council in all other policy matters pertaining to youth.
