Wright County Public Health Will Form Youth Partnership For Health Council

From the Wright County Government:

March 11, 2020

To empower youth to advocate for themselves and their peers, Wright County Public Health is forming the Youth Partnership for Health Council. This youth run Council will give students the opportunity to hold elected positions, report to the Wright County Public Health Task Force, and form smaller work groups to address self-identified topics. By amplifying the voices of adolescents, the relationship between their current environment and the welfare of Wright County communities will be better understood.

Wright County Public Health is committed to providing equal access to programs and services without regard to race, color, age, gender, disability, marital status, affectional preferences, criminal record, citizenship or national origin. Diversity among the Council is highly encouraged to magnify thoughts and ideas of those who are typically underrepresented. Due to your unique relationship with students, we are seeking your collaboration in recruiting a diverse group of applicants.

High School students who are Wright County residents are eligible to apply to be members of the Council. The Council will hold a minimum of 9 meetings throughout the working year, and participants will be reimbursed for their attendance. Students can apply by completing a paper application, an online application at http://bit.ly/37IgwMG, or by calling 763-684-8424.
