Starting Thursday, applications for the Columbia Mayor’s Youth Council for the upcoming 2024-25 academic year will be open for interested students. The deadline for submission is set for August 23rd. To be eligible for participation in the Columbia, Tennessee Mayor’s Youth Council, applicants must meet several criteria.
Firstly, candidates must currently be enrolled as high school students in Maury County, specifically within grades 9 through 12. This eligibility extends to students attending public, private, or home schools. Additionally, prospective members should possess a strong desire to contribute positively to their community.
Commitment is another essential requirement; participants must be willing to engage with the Columbia Mayor’s Youth Council throughout the entire school year. Members will also be expected to take part in various group activities, community service projects, and special events organized by the council.
One of the significant benefits of being a member of the council is the opportunity to engage directly with the Mayor of Columbia. This interaction allows youth council members to discuss community service initiatives and explore ways to become more involved in local government affairs.
