We need your help to spread the word to young people in your community! This opportunity is great for current and prospective Neighborhood Council Youth Representatives, but the opportunity is open to any youth interested in civic engagement and local democracy. Participants are not required or expected to have prior government, leadership, or advocacy experience in their community.
We have developed an outreach toolkit to make it easy for you to share this opportunity on your Neighborhood Council's social media, website, and/or newsletter. The toolkit will be continuously updated between now and the application deadline with new graphics and translated materials, so check back often!
