| | Perry Youth Advisory Council Completes Year-Long Term | | |
A great group of young leaders wrapped up their term last month with the Perry Youth Advisory Council.
At their final meeting, members had the opportunity to sit down with Mayor Randall Walker to share their ideas, reflect on their experiences, and discuss what they’ve learned through their involvement this year.
Throughout their year-long term, these students connected with City departments while sharing perspectives that help shape Perry’s future. One of their lasting contributions is the creation of a Youth Council Award, an idea they approved at their final meeting that will carry forward to recognize youth impact in our community.
Congratulations to this year’s cohort on a successful term!
