The City of Milwaukee Youth Council is a powerful and diverse group of young leaders committed to making a difference in Milwaukee. We work on issues important to youth, talk to our peers, family, and neighbors about their concerns and take action to address them. Youth Council members represent young people in their aldermanic districts. We meet with leaders like the Mayor, Common Council, School Superintendent, business owners, and community groups to advocate for youth.
