After many years of inactivity, the Mayor’s Youth Council was re-instituted by Mayor Joan Hawkins over the last year.  As a result of the school year’s end, the council reorganized in their last meeting for the 2022/2023 school year.

Three seniors will be graduating with their high school class: Mattilyn Jacobsen, Katie Marble, and Cambree Howe. Officers who served for the 2022/2023 school year were President Mattilyn Jacobsen, Vice President Cambree Howe, Secretary Aubrey Corbett, Historian Adi Schow, Public Relations Aubree Palmer.

Four new members have joined the Youth Council for the school year 2023/2024: Kolton Cox, Zion McCullough, Emma Bird and Abbie Cox. Officers chosen for the 2023/2024 school year are: President Mathilde Dickerson, Vice President Aubree Palmer, Secretary Aubrey Corbett, Historian Adi Schow, Public Relations Kolton Cox. 

In the past school year the Youth Council sponsored a movie in the park, sold popcorn and cotton candy at the Malad Straw Maze, sponsored the League of Idaho Cities Tandem Tour, and helped with the Capital for a Day, with a highlight of having their photo taken with Governor Little. Two members will be attending the AIC City Convention held in June at Boise, Kolton Cox and Abbie Cox.
