The City of San Bernardino, in partnership with San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD), announced it is accepting applications for its next cohort of Youth Civic Engagement Council members.
San Bernardino’s Youth Council is a program for motivated high school students who are eager to learn more about the City they live in and the local government that runs it. The Youth Council provides San Bernardino youth with the opportunity to engage with City staff and elected officials to learn more about their roles in running local government. Additionally, youth will learn about the various ways they can engage civically to make a difference in their community.
In order to serve,
- Applicants must be enrolled in good standing as a sophomore or junior at either a SBCUSD high school or a charter school in San Bernardino at the time of application.
- Applicants must reside in San Bernardino.
- Applicants must be available to participate for the entirety of the program from September to February (a minimum of about four hours each month).
Interested youth can download the application at https://www.sbcity.org. Deadline to apply is 5:00 p.m. on June 10.
