Hey there, Charleston! Are you a creative, passionate middle or high school student looking to make a real difference in your community? If you’re an 8th to 11th grader in the Charleston County or Berkeley County School Districts, here’s your chance to be part of something special. The City of Charleston is now accepting applications for the 2025-26 term of the Mayor’s Youth Commission (MYC)! This is a golden opportunity for you to get involved, share your voice, and inspire positive change in the community.
To be eligible, make sure you’re a current student in grades 8 through 11 at a school located within the city of Charleston. If you meet this requirement, you’re in the running! The application deadline is coming up fast – mark your calendars for Monday, March 17. Handling it early could mean the difference between sitting on the sidelines or jumping in the game!
Being part of the MYC isn’t just a title; it’s an active role where you can truly shine. Members will meet regularly to tackle youth-focused initiatives, share ideas, and brainstorm ways to engage with city officials. The commission is all about creating a positive impact and giving young people a meaningful voice in shaping effective solutions to issues that matter to you and your peers.
Members will be selected to serve a full term from March 2025 to May 2026, but the great news is that you could serve multiple terms throughout your high school years! It means you can grow and evolve in this role while making an even bigger impact.
So, what will you be doing on the commission? Well, for starters, you’ll meet monthly with the Office for Children, Youth, and Families staff, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. to discuss pressing issues. Additionally, you’ll have quarterly meetings with the Mayor of Charleston to share your insights and recommendations. This is your chance to provide real leadership, input, and innovative ideas to combat community problems.
You don’t just get to speak; you’ll play a vital role in determining strategies and empowering your peers. It’s a way to ensure that the perspectives of young folks are not just heard, but are also at the forefront of community decisions. This is about making sure that your ideas can foster change and shape the future!
Ready to jump in? To apply, head over to the online application form before the deadline on March 17. Once you’ve submitted your application, don’t forget that selected candidates must also provide a parent waiver and a reference from your current principal.
