The City of Wenatchee is now accepting applications from local high school students in grades 9-12 who are interested in serving on the newly created Junior City Council. The Wenatchee City Council created the Junior City Council in order to engage high school students in local governance, civic responsibility, and leadership development. The program provides students with hands-on experience in municipal government, allowing them to voice their perspectives, contribute to community projects, and gain an understanding of policy-making. The Junior City Council serves as an advisory body to the Wenatchee City Council on youth aspects of all city functions, including but not limited to finance, public works, parks, recreation, cultural services, community development, information technology, public safety, and human resources.

Additional information about the Junior City Council can be found on the city’s website at the following link: Wenatchee Junior City Council 

Students interested in serving on the Junior City Council will need to complete an application for consideration. Student members will be selected based on leadership skills, community involvement, and interest in civic affairs. Link to application: JUNIOR CITY COUNCIL APPLICATION
