Come to the MYV information meeting!

Mecklenburg Youth Voice is recruiting new members from Mecklenburg high schools. MYV is a youth-driven and youth-led project seeking to ensure that the voices of youth are heard and considered in school and government decision-making. MYV's projects this year include dialogues with CMS superintendent Peter Gorman, meetings with school board members and other educational leaders, visits to government meetings, participation in the Candidate Forum for Youth, Kids Voting and more. Service hours are available.
