About the Council
"Building future leaders by learning & serving in the community."
The Saratoga Springs City Youth Council is a group of concerned, active teens who live within the City. Members of Youth Council have a strong interest in government, local issues and civic responsibilities. The Youth Council helps to give back to the community through learning activities and service projects.
As part of the Civic Events Committee the youth council will have the opportunity to participate in the planning and implementing of various citywide events. Involvement fosters a greater appreciation for our government and helps to bestow many skills that will be helpful throughout life. It also is a platform to interact with peers and make new friends.
