Genesee County, MI — Are you, or do you know, a high school student that is looking to change the world for the better?  Or young people who are very engaged in politics?  Young people have innovative ideas and aren’t mired in the cynicism of so many adults.  We want engaged young people to apply for the Genesee County Youth Commission.  

The Genesee County Board of Commissioners and Michigan State University Extension 4-H Youth Development programs are collaborating to create an advisory group.  These youth will learn about county government, share concerns with the Genesee County Board of Commissioners, and work to improve our community.

Youth Commission members will meet twice monthly, usually on the 1st & 2nd Wednesday of the month from 4-5:30 p.m. at the Genesee County Administration Building from January through June.  The program will also include a trip to Lansing. There is no cost to participate, but students are expected to be fully engaged, and will need to take care of their own transportation.

Please apply HERE by December 1. We will be selecting one high-school age youth from each County Commissioner’s district.  If you have more questions, contact Darren Bagley at bagleyda@msu.edu.
