Youth Council

Wakefield Youth Council members will:

  • learn the process to effectively advocate 
  • be engaged in town issues
  • actively participate in local government
  • communicate and advocate for youth issues in the appropriate forum(s)
  • represent a cross-section of the town’s neighborhoods, sexes, races/ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, and ages
  • implement projects that will benefit the town’s youth population, schools, and the community at large
