project builders and leaders in our communities and nation.”
- Alma Powell

Casper Youth Council will host its first Student Forum next week! Monday, November 22nd Casper's City Manager, Mayor, Vice Mayor, and Council Members will meet with 40+ students to discuss: themes/trends within our community and looking ahead to 2022; issues City Staff see impacting Casper economically and socially; big agenda items for Casper in the coming months/year; issues/ordinances young people should be aware of in our community; how the City and Council see more young people playing a role in our community; and how our youth might contribute/engage more effectively.

Two of our Casper Youth Council members, Bryce and Mason, were invited to represent the 16-18 year old demographic at the ENGAGE Summit: Creating Our Wyoming kick-off. They leaned in, listened, learned, contributed, and shared their voice. Truly a joy watching them participate in these meaningful conversations!
