The City of Peterborough is now accepting applications for the Peterborough Youth Council 2024 term for anyone between 12 and 21 who lives or attends school in town.
The Peterborough Youth Council is a voice for youth in our community. Members bring their ideas and energy to organizing and participating in community events. Youth Council members attend monthly meetings and collaborate with Recreation and Parks Services staff to plan community events.
This Council counts towards volunteer hours for an Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
“I’ve enjoyed working with outstanding young people on the Peterborough Youth Council over the years,” said Councillor Lesley Parnell. “The Youth Council contributes a lot of valuable perspectives to community events, in turn members gain valuable experience and make new friends. I encourage anyone who is interested to apply.”
“The young people in Peterborough are the future of our community. We value their perspectives and welcome their input,” said Councillor Gary Baldwin. “Peterborough Youth Council is an opportunity to develop our leaders of tomorrow, while offering lots of fun along the way.”
