Residents, students of District 1 encouraged to apply for the Milwaukee Youth Council

Alderwoman Andrea M. Pratt is seeking interested students to fill the current District 1 vacancy on the City of Milwaukee Youth Council. The City of Milwaukee Youth Council is a powerful and diverse group of young leaders committed to making a difference in Milwaukee. Youth Council members represent young people in their aldermanic districts, meet with local leaders, and work with community groups to advocate for youth and youth-centric issues.

“The Milwaukee Youth Council serves an important role within local government. They act as the eyes, ears, and voices for the young people in our city, and help push Council members and other city departments to keep issues important to youth at the forefront,” said Alderwoman Pratt. “If any young person who lives in District 1 is interested in serving on the Youth Council, I would encourage them to apply today.”
