Youth Town Hall Hero

Join me for my annual Youth Town Hall. Youth perspectives are vital in shaping the future of our community, and elevating their voices has never been more crucial.

Whether you are passionate about education, climate change, or mental health, this is a great opportunity for our district’s youth to share their perspectives and priorities directly with me. You will also hear from a panel of inspiring youth leaders who are already making a difference in their schools and communities.
