Our Vice Chair said 'I wanted to be part of the youth council because I believed it is essential to help improve the environment around me and try to do my part for my community by working together to improve it.I really enjoy the youth council because it allows me to meet others and debate ideas around me, gaining input and ideas I may not have thought of, and creating projects which are beneficial to those around us.'
