City of Cumming Youth Council
The Youth Council is comprised of nine students from Forsyth Central High School and the Alliance Academy for Innovation, the two high schools located within the Cumming City Limits. Students from both schools can apply to participate in the City’s Youth Council. All applications are reviewed by a committee, which selects the nine Youth Council members.
Much like the City of Cumming’s elected body, the Youth Council meets each month and members elect the leadership roles of Mayor, Mayor Protem, City Administrator, and Clerk.
The Mission Statement of the City of Cumming Youth Council is “to provide local youth with the experience of working with city government while obtaining a sense of civic responsibility, as well as the opportunity to develop and demonstrate leadership skills.”
