Council Chambers 57 E. First St. All meetings begin at 6 p.m.
The City of Mesa has a Mayor's Youth Committee (MYC) which is comprised of 36 high school juniors and seniors from the Mesa Public School system. Six students are selected by each school to represent them on the committee. One student from each school is selected by the committee to serve on the Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee assumes a leadership role and assists in the coordination of meetings including guest speakers and service projects. The MYC meets once a month and each school is a subcommittee which meets on an as needed basis. The subcommittees focus on different levels of government i.e. city, county, state, federal and develop the material for one MYC meeting. Additionally, we work with the Mesa Senior Center and the Volunteer Center to identify service projects.
MYC members are expected to attend at least 6 of the 9 MYC meetings for 10 points per meeting and at least 6 subcommittee meetings for 5 points per meeting. Additionally, they receive 5 points for every service hour they complete. If they receive 250 points or more during the school year, they graduate from the program and attend a special ceremony where they are acknowledged.
