Town Looks for 2 Students to Serve on Youth Commission

The Westborough Youth Commission is looking for two high school students who will be juniors during the 2015-2016 school year to serve as Youth Members of the Youth Commission to serve two school year terms.

These two students will attend monthly meetings to provide youth perspective on programs and policies that are being developed by the Commission and Westborough Youth and Family Services.

“This is a terrific community service opportunity to take a leadership role in the development of youth related programming for Westborough Youth and to learn about the operation of town government. Ideal candidates would have an interest in community service, advocacy, political action and/or government.”

A time commitment of about 2 hours a month is expected, as well as attendance at town meeting.

For those who are interested and want to know more: the Commission discusses this role for students at the meeting on May 11 at 7:30 p.m., but letters of interest should be submitted by April 30.

The Youth Commission is a nine member volunteer board, composed of five adults and four high school age students, appointed by the Board of Selectmen to advocate for the needs of the youths and families of Westborough.
