The City of Fishers is once again offering local students a chance to get some hands-on experience in connecting with the community where they live.  The Mayor’s Youth Council is offering this opportunity to students in the Hamilton Southeastern School corporation.

Beginning on Thursday, September 21 from 9 to 11 a.m., the program rotates at locations throughout Fishers and into surrounding communities. This year, Mayor Fadness has challenged participating students to build a policy position that details how Fishers Parks & Recreation can launch and incorporate adaptive programming in its repertoire of services offered to the community. Monthly activities will take place during the school day, but students should expect to spend time outside of school hours working on projects or activities.

Parental permission is required for students to be approved into the program. As a member of the Mayor’s Youth Council, students will utilize public speaking, critical thinking, STEM, budgeting, creativity, athleticism, leadership and many social studies/civic skills. The program was developed in partnership with Fishers High School, HSE High School and Hamilton Southeastern Schools to ensure it helps support and enhance classroom curriculum.
