Youth Advisory Council
To engage youth voices in the County Council’s decision-making process, I will launch a Youth Advisory Council for my office. I am looking for 12 individuals who:
- Live in Montgomery County and are in grades 7-12 and older than 13
- Can commit to meet virtually once every two weeks at 5:30 p.m. on Monday evening from March—June
- Want to support and advance my S.M.A.R.T. policy agenda
- Are passionate about racial equity and social justice
Members of the Youth Advisory Council will gain necessary experience learning more about the inner processes of the Montgomery County Council. They will work with my team and me to share youth priorities on budget proposals, legislation, community programs, health and safety initiatives, and more. As such, we seek students who are passionate about Montgomery County and want to give back to their community. Please feel free to email us at Councilmember.Sayles@montgomerycountymd.gov if you have any questions or want to learn more about this program.
