Youth Council

The City of Twentynine Palms is proud to announce a new and exciting opportunity for rising 6th through 12th-grade students. The City’s new Youth Council will provide our youth with an opportunity to increase their knowledge of civic education and engagement through practical hands-on experience. The Youth Council will be composed of fourteen (14) 6th - 12th grade students charged with representing youth in the City of Twentynine Palms. The Youth Council will:

• Involve youth in local government through participation in attending local meetings;
• Increase youth voices and communication in Twentynine Palms’ future direction;
• Increase volunteerism among youth and adults in civic affairs.

Youth Council members will be selected through a competitive application process. An ideal Youth Council will be composed of a diverse group of young people who represent ALL youth in Twentynine Palms. Our primary criterion for selection will be a demonstration that the young person wants to make a difference here in Twentynine Palms – and we will give them an opportunity to do just that.

The application period has closed.
