Sammamish Reveals 2019-19 City Youth Board Members

From Sammamish Youth Board: After receiving over 70 applicants, the City Council appointed 46 young people to serve on the 2018-2019 Sammamish Youth Board.

Members of the Sammamish Youth Board (SYB) have the unique opportunity to participate in making a difference in the community through interacting with City officials. The 2018-2019 SYB is comprised of 8th thru 12th graders representing 8 different schools serving Sammamish residents. In the past, SYB members have worked with City officials on issues varying from transportation to police services to community branding.

“The City of Sammamish is proud to have appointed such a highly qualified group of applicants to serve on the 2018-19 Sammamish Youth Board,” said City Manager Lyman Howard. “We find the unique perspectives that these young people provide to be invaluable to many City projects and planning processes.”

The 2018-2018 SYB will meet monthly beginning in September. If you have any questions about the SYB, please email Lynne Handlos, Recreation Coordinator atlhandlos@sammamish.us.
