Our Work
Empowering the next generation of leaders through civic engagement and collaborative action.
Regular Council Meetings
We host meetings twice a month where students come together to discuss and debate. These meetings include brief, targeted civics lessons and open dialogue about issues facing our generation.
Government Collaboration
With adult advisors to inform us, we explore topics being discussed by the city and offer a youth perspective. Members are strongly encouraged to attend city council and school board meetings, contributing to local government.
Our Team
Along with the high school members making up ESYCC, we rely on our adult advisors to help us with funds, offer advice, keep us informed, and give us ideas. If you are an adult interested in volunteering or becoming an advisor, please reach out to gundo.youthciviccouncil@gmail.com!
