Youth Councils are one of the most direct and impactful ways cities can engage with young people and inspire civic participation. By educating youth on the roles and responsibilities of local government, teaching leadership and collaboration skills, and guiding them through youth-led service projects, these councils serve as a powerful tool for community building. This webinar will explore how cities can go beyond Youth Councils to create meaningful opportunities for youth voice and engagement. Learn about Georgia Forward’s  Youth Forums, Leadership Symposiums, and Accelerator Programs. These initiatives foster dialogue between youth and local leaders, provide platforms for innovative ideas, and prepare the next generation to lead with purpose. Join us to learn practical strategies, hear success stories, and discover how your city can build a thriving pipeline of youth leaders dedicated to community impact. Speaker:  Tavari Turner Georgia Forward Program Manager
