Mayoral Youth Commission Fall 2015

At Mikva, we believe that youth deserve a place at the table of city and school leaders who make public policy that significantly affects Chicago youth. Through Mikva’s five unique Action Civics programs, we hope to create structures within city government that incorporate youth input in policymaking and budget deliberations; connect a broad base of youth to adult decision makers via the youth councils; positively affect policy; and, develop a cadre of strong youth leaders committed to public service and activism both now and in the future.
