The City of Weirton Youth Council (WYC) is looking for new members! Students must reside in the City of Weirton and be able to attend scheduled meetings.

To read more about the program, see attached information.

The WYC is composed of students in 7th, 8th, and 9th grades including students attending public, private, and home school. Regular WYC meetings are held twice monthly on the first and third Monday. Additional meetings, activities, community service projects, and volunteer opportunities may be scheduled throughout the program year. Meeting dates and times are subject to change.

During their term, WYC members will learn how municipal government operates, gain firsthand insight into the roles and responsibilities of City departments, and develop an understanding of how they can serve as a voice for their peers and other young people in the community. Members will have opportunities to share youth perspectives, concerns, and ideas directly with the Mayor and City Council, helping ensure that the voices of Weirton’s youth are considered as decisions are made for the future of our community.
