Youth In Government Program Seeking Applications

The Middletown Youth Services Bureau is currently recruiting for the 2011-2012 City of Middletown Youth in Government program. This is a program which gives students the opportunity to sit on various boards and commissions throughout the city (such as the Board of Health and Parks and Recreation Commission). Although these are non-voting seats, the students are encouraged to actively participate in the decision making process and have their voices heard. The students chosen to participate in this program will be sworn in by the Mayor at the November Common Council meeting. We are hoping to have representatives from all our Middletown high schools participate in Youth in Government this year.


On our website you will find a copy of the application (in both word and pdf form), a description of the program, as well information on the participating boards and commissions). Please share these documents with any students who you think are interested in politics and/or making a difference in their community. Please also inform students that the deadline for applications is Friday October 21, 2011 at 3:00 p.m. We will also drop off a packet of information to each high school.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Melissa Robinson or Justin Carbonella at (860) 854-6030 or email Melissa at robinsonm@mpsct.org.

This is an empowering opportunity for students to have their voices heard in the community!!!
