Applications being accepted for Athens Mayor’s Youth Council

Applications are now being accepted for the Mayor's Youth Council   This program is designed to encourage effective youth engagement in Athens-Clarke County and to provide an opportunity for youth voices to communicate directly with local government leadership.

The Mayor’s Youth Council is a group of ACC residents who are in grades 10-12 for the 2024-25 school year.  This program is not affiliated with the Clarke County School District or student government. Members will attend monthly meetings and give, at minimum, five hours/week to the council. They will work on small group projects through the year to suggest changes impacting youth today. 

The application deadline is Sunday, August 18, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. Interviews will be held late August, with the first council meeting to be held in September.
