Nevada City, CA – The Nevada County Youth Commission is seeking new members for the 2024-25 school year. The commission is looking for members ages 14-19 who live in Nevada County and/ or are enrolled in a Nevada County school system. The group serves as a bridge between young people and the Board of Supervisors and identifies, connects, and advocates for issues facing Nevada County youth.
Commissioners serve a one-year term. There are six openings available.
“Being a part of the Youth Commission is such an enriching experience and rewarding thing to be a part of,” said Chair Mackenzie Rist. “I have been given such amazing opportunities and acquired many skills and an abundance of knowledge that many people don’t get until much later in their lives. As a commissioner I truly feel like I have been able to begin creating positive change among my age group and most importantly, my community.”
The deadline to apply is May 7, with interviews scheduled May 16-21. Offers to serve on the commission will be made May 29-31. The Board of Supervisors is scheduled to confirm the appointments June 25.
