Columbia Mayor’s Youth Council
Columbia Mayor’s Youth Council Applications Open for the 2022-23 School Year
Columbia Mayor’s Youth Council (CMYC) applications for the 2022-23 school year are now open. All high-school students, 9th-12th grade, located within Maury County can apply. The 2022-23 term will begin in September 2022 and conclude in May 2023.
Mayor Chaz Molder stated, “I am excited about the second year of this Council and look forward to putting together another strong group of high school students to serve and give back to their community, and I have no doubt that members of this Council will be future leaders of this community and others in the years ahead.”
The CMYC’s goal is to foster leadership and community involvement among Columbia’s diverse high-school population and to encourage students to become further interested in local government. The CMYC is composed of Maury County high school students who value academic excellence, community involvement, and leadership. Selected students will have an opportunity to actively participate in various activities and programs, including team building, working with the Mayor and other City officials, addressing issues affecting youth and the community, leading and volunteering in community projects, and learning about City departments and local businesses.
“The Mayor’s Youth Council is one of the more impactful programs we’ve undertaken at City Hall over the last several years—impactful because it not only opens doors to the future of our community, for them to gain insight into local government and make contacts that will serve them well,” said Molder. “It also gives us all a glimpse into the needs and wants of the youth of our community—the future of our community.”
The CMYC members will be selected based on an application process that is made available to all Maury County high school students. The application process will open on August 1st and close on August 26th. Applicants will be notified of acceptance by September 2nd. CMYC meetings will be held monthly, in addition to community and volunteer projects
