6. MAYOR’S YOUTH COUNCIL
The application for the 2019-2020 Mayor’s Youth Council is now available online. You can find it here.
What is the Mayor’s Youth Council?
The Mayor’s Youth Council is a dynamic one-year program that gives Los Angeles high school students a voice in City Hall. The Council empowers its members with tools, policy knowledge, and leadership training vital to advocating for causes relevant to the youth of our city. Find more information on the attached flyer.
Who should apply to the Council?
All student leaders currently enrolled in a Los Angeles high school are invited to apply! The Council will meet in cohorts based on geographic area.
What is the commitment?
Members of the Mayor’s Youth Council will attend monthly workshops facilitated by their Area Representative in the Mayor’s Office and may take on additional projects outside the monthly meetings.
If you know any motivated high school students in Los Angeles who would be great candidates for the Mayor’s Youth Council, please pass along this message! The application deadline is September 19, 2019.
7. STREET LIGHT OUTAGES – HOW TO REPORT
If streetlights are out in your area, please report ASAP to the city. Dark streets are both a security and a safety issue – on the security side, burglars and other bad guys can move around more easily; and on the safety side, pedestrian accidents are more likely. If streetlights are out on your block, please keep your outdoor house lights on all night until the streetlights are repaired.
There are a few ways to report, and they are all easy!
Online:
Bureau of Street Lighting — http://bsl.lacity.org/residents.html
myLA311 — https://myla311.lacity.org/ — click on Service Requests, then choose Problems & Repairs
