Statewide Youth Council

The Governor’s Statewide Youth Council is one part of Governor Patrick's commitment to engaging all citizens of the Commonwealth in their communities and their government.  The Youth Council initiative will encourage and motivate young people to be involved in their communities and to participate in problem solving through assuming leadership and planning roles.  Once established, the Youth Council will focus on the Governor’s priorities of education, economic development, civic engagement, and community outreach, advising the Governor as representatives of all Massachusetts young people. Young people ages 14-20 are encouraged to apply by May 30, 2008.
