Hey, Surprise teens! The city's looking for fresh faces and bright minds to join the Surprise Youth Council, a platform where your voice won't just echo through school halls but could shape the very community you call home. As reported on surpriseaz.gov, this isn't your typical extracurricular. It's a chance to dive headfirst into civic engagement, lead with purpose, and maybe even lay down roots for a future in public service—or at least beef up that college application.
Applications are now welcomed with open arms for students currently in the trenches of 7th through 11th grade with a hankering for community service, and, a desire to spur their peers into action. Prospective members will need to submit both an application and a short video—let's call it your pitch for why you're the next civic rockstar of Surprise. Deadline's ticking, so mark April 29, 2024, in your calendars if you're game.
Those itching to get involved can hit up the official website or pick up the horn and dial 623.222.2000 for the nitty-gritty details. It's not every day you get to play a part in steering the ship of your own city, especially while you're still hitting the books.
Don't forget to keep tabs on what the gang at Surprise Parks & Recreation are up to, they're the ones firing off the latest news and shindigs on social media. Whether it's the next community service project or the yearly bash that turns Surprise into party central, these are the folks to follow, if staying in the loop is your thing.
