Mayor's Youth Council

Mission Statement

It is the mission of the Fountain Hills Mayor's Youth Council to inspire students to take an active role in the community by helping to foster relationships within the Town, providing the necessary leadership opportunities that will best represent its function while maintaining the interests of future generations.

Who are we?

The Mayor's Youth Council of Fountain Hills has been in existence since 1999. It is comprised of students in grades 9-12 who are willing to take an active role in their community.

What is the purpose?

The purpose is to provide a pathway for students to develop their leadership skills, serve their community through volunteer work, and offer a central clearinghouse for ideas that support the goals and give direction to the town's youth.

Who can participate?

Fountain Hills' youth in grades 9-12 may qualify for membership. The Mayor's Youth Council seeks those students that are highly motivated, eager, and dedicated to help make a difference.

What do we do?

The Fountain Hills Mayor's Youth Council takes an active role in the community. They learn about the local government, work together on group projects, demonstrate leadership and participate in community service activities. The MYC also meets with the Mayor, the Town Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission in order to help inform the public of its current projects and activities.

Where are meetings held?

Meetings are usually held twice a month, every other Wednesday, in the Lecture Hall at Fountain Hills High School. Special events or community service opportunities may take place at various locations.

What role do we play?

The Mayor's Youth Council complements the Parks and Recreation Department's mission by providing a service that works to meet the intellectual, social, cultural and leisure needs of all residents. This service strengthens the capabilities of the town's youth by creating opportunities to develop leadership skills, work on community service projects and voice the needs or concerns of the Town's youth.
