Youth Town Hall |
|
Youth Town Hall is an annual event planned and sponsored by the Mayor's
Youth Advisory Commission (MYAC). Youth Town Hall gives
teens the opportunity to have direct
input into policy affecting them and experience the results.
Youth Town Hall brings together middle and high school students in Tempe
with community decision makers, including school board members,
civic and business leaders, public service agencies, and elected
officials. Youth and adults exchange ideas and propose viable solutions
for issues
facing Tempe’s youth. Recommendations generated at the annual Town
Hall are published in the Youth Town Hall Report. The report is
presented to the Tempe City Council for possible action or
policy changes. The report is also widely disseminated in our community.
Over the years numerous Youth Town Hall recommendations have been implemented.
