Youth City Council
The Farr West Youth City Council (FWYCC) provides an opportunity to develop future leaders, give a voice to youth, engage in municipal government and community service, and improve the community for future generations.
Members learn about the challenges and successes of local government, gain an understanding of the operations and functions, and take an active interest in addressing issues relating to local affairs, community events and youth issues. Participating in the FWYCC further helps to improve members' abilities in leadership roles, project development and management skills.
Applications for the FWYCC are now open. Applications will be screened and select applicants will be invited to an in-depth interview. Applications can be emailed to recorder@farrwestcity.gov or brought into the city office.
