  • 2017 Youth Town Hall Report and Six Month Update May 2017
    CITY OF TEMPE 2017 Youth Town Hall Report and Six Month Update May 2017 Dear Mayor and City Council: This has been another productive year for the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Commission (MYAC). The activities organized by MYAC have allowed Tempe’s youth to contribute their ideas and assist in the continued development of our City. We would like to thank you for your on-going support of our Commission and its projects. MYAC was active in our community over these last six months. We participated in a variety of civic engagement events including the Arizona Youth Town Hall where we learned how local governments fund programs, the Future Leaders Town Hall where we discussed how to fund K-12 education, and just recently the Governor’s Youth Leadership Day where we had the chance to network with other youth commissions and sharpen our leadership skills. MYAC has been intentional about being present in our community. We have partnered with the College Connect Tempe program to promote and enhance the existing services, we presented ideas on increasing solar power usage at the State of the Neighborhoods Address in April, and we volunteered at the 2017 YouthFest Changemakers and Courage Awards Banquet. MYAC’s annual Youth Town Hall was held on February 16, 2017. The event allowed youth and community leaders to exchange ideas on issues concerning youth. A summary of the event’s activities and recommendations are detailed in this report. These recommendations are the original ideas of Tempe’s youth to solve problems our community faces. Additionally, each year MYAC implements a community service project.
