Mayor’s Youth Council
The City of New Bedford-Mayor's Youth Council (MYC) was created to be the eyes and ears of city youth in an advisory capacity to the mayor and city government. The Council assists city officials in the development of community projects from a youth's perspective.
Members attend city council, school committee, and youth and neighborhood subcommittee meetings, and report back to the full council, increasing their knowledge and awareness of issues addressed. The MYC is made up of 25 youth entering 9th grade through 12th grade. Youth self-nominate through an application process and are then invited to interview for open positions.
Funded by the City of New Bedford's Invest in Kids Program.
