Sugar Land Seeks Applicants For Mayor’s Youth Council

SUGAR LAND, TX — Applications for the 2017-2018 Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council (MYAC) are now available at https://volunteer.sugarlandtx.gov. Interested students should submit completed applications by Sept. 19 at 5 p.m.

The council empowers youth to become active community members by providing students with an overview of opportunities to impact the future of Sugar Land through local government public service. Students share newly gained knowledge to influence the community and make a difference in the city.

As part of MYAC, students tour city facilities, participate in a forum and mock council meetings, work with other Sugar Land students and make a lasting impact on the city’s future.

Now in its thirteenth year, MYAC needs motivated and passionate Sugar Land youth to learn more about their community and serve as young ambassadors. Last year’s students were “inspired by the work being done in the city and want to become more involved.”

Eligible students must be high school juniors for the 2017-2018 school year. Students must also live in Sugar Land or communities in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction that have adopted strategic partnership agreements with the city, including Greatwood, New Territory and portions of Riverstone.

For more information or questions, visit http://www.sugarlandtx.gov/myac, email myac@sugarlandtx.gov, or call (281) 275-2329.
