Fishers city employee Dan Domsic gave the Hamilton Southeastern School Board a summary of plans for the Mayor’s Youth Council August 10th. Now the city is prepared to take applications to become a part of it. Details of the program are below in a city news release:
===============================================
As the 2016-2017 school year approaches, the City of Fishers is offering an exciting opportunity for upper class high school students to participate in the Mayor’s Youth Council. Inspired by Fishers Citizen’s Academies, the Mayor’s Youth Council intentionally engages high school students in an effort to build community awareness, inspire future careers in the public sector and provide hands-on learning opportunities that enhance curriculum.
As a member of the Mayor’s Youth Council, students will step into the uniform of a Fishers police officer, experience the job as a member of the Fishers Fire Department, plan and design a local park and much more. Students will refine professional skills, including public speaking, critical thinking, leadership, civic engagement, STEM and more.
Admission into the program is application based, and applications are due by September 6th. Interested students can address questions to Dan Domsic via email or by phone at (317) 595-3151, or can complete an application online.
