| Student Government is an annual event
sponsored by the Mayor's Youth Advisory Commission (MYAC) that involves 46
Tempe high school students.
During the morning participants shadow the
Mayor, City Council members, and City department heads, managers and
administrators. Students gain insight into a variety of professions in
city government and how our city’s infrastructure operates.
During the
afternoon students participate in a mock City Council meeting where they
address an actual issue that was faced by Tempe’s City Council.
Participants analyze the issue and present sound arguments to support
their position on the topic. The mock council meeting gives participants
the opportunity to understand and experience first-hand the importance
and effectiveness of community involvement. |
