What Is Youth Council?
Youth city councils are designed to involve youth in solving community problems. They learn to organize activities and service for themselves and to participate with their adult counterparts in city programs. Youth leaders take on roles of developing communication among community groups and with other young people in the community.
Goals of Youth Council:
- Become more aware of community leaders and their concerns
- Identify community opportunities and problems that involve youth
- Set priorities for action
- Examine alternatives for best solutions
- Assist the City Council in action programs
- Become more involved in the democratic process
For questions, or if you are interested in being involved during the 2020-2021 school year, please email minda.stockdale@parkcity.org.

A Brief History of Youth City Councils
The Youth City Council (YCC) program was originally started as part of Utah Community Progress (UCP) and was sponsored by Utah State University Extension Service, Utah League of Cities and Towns, and the Utah Department of Economic Development. The first Youth City Council in Utah was organized in Hyrum City, Utah. Then Hyrum Mayor Bruce Darley and Utah State University Community Development Specialists Wes Maughan and Jeri Winger were instrumental in starting this first youth city council. The number of cities participating grew to the point that an association of youth councils was formed in 1992. This non-profit association provides continued leadership for YCCs throughout Utah. Their mission is to provide opportunities for youth to develop mature citizenship, leadership, a sense of personal achievement and an understanding of government.
