Executive Summary
The mission of the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council is to empower youth from various backgrounds to become active members in the community by providing a youthful point of view to further the progress of and have an everlasting effect on the community and local government. The class curriculum includes a Think Tank, the City Tour, a “Meet the Chiefs” session, and several service project-planning dates. Additionally, members of MYAC are encouraged to frequently participate in various service opportunities within our community. The 2007-2008 class of the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council included a total of 129 Sugar Land high-school student residents. Forty-nine students are enrolled as Full Members, and another forty-four are E-Members. An additional thirty-six students from the Classes of 2006 and 2007 returned as Alumni Members. The Class began with induction on September 24, 2007. Since induction, the full MYAC members completed the curriculum and sponsored two major service projects: The “Big Day Out,” which focused on the promotion of healthy lifestyles and was held on April 6, 2008, and the continuation of the Internet Safety presentations at local middle schools. The Internet Safety initiative will be highlighted in a documentary by FOX 26, which will air on Thursday, May 8, 2008. With all of these important accomplishments in mind, staff is recommending that the Mayor and City Council recognize the Full Members of the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council Class of 2007-2008 to show their appreciation for the dedication to public service that each of these students has demonstrated as part of the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council Class of 2008.
