Mayor's Youth Council

The gateway for young adults into civic engagement and local government.

The Mayor's Youth Council is a group of highly motivated young adults in their junior or senior years of high school. The Mayor's Youth Council was born from Mayor Berke's belief that young people needed a voice in civic engagement and government.

Please check out the exciting things MYC members are doing involving the local elections coming up in March!

Chattanooga City Council candidates discuss issues affecting young people in their districts with questions from members of the Mayor's Youth Council, and students from Chattanooga State and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. This event was organized by UTC's Mocs Go Vote Committee. Please click on the YouTube link below to view all the interviews with the candidates for City Council!
