Applications are open for the Buckeye Youth Council, a club designed to empower Buckeye-area teens through character, community and communication.

This is an opportunity for teens to develop skills in leadership, teamwork and project management while advocating for youth issues.

Members of the BYC have the opportunity to attend several conferences throughout the year, network with local officials, business leaders and other youth council members from neighboring cities.

Members also plan and implement project initiatives, volunteer at various special events, learn from local leaders/guest speakers and improve their public speaking skills while making new friends.

To apply, students must meet the following requirements:

• Enrolled in eighth through 12^th grade for the 2023-24 school year
• Reside in Buckeye
• Able to attend bimonthly meetings

Complete applications by April 30. Qualified applicants will be invited to Buckeye City Hall for an in-person interview.
