Youth Council

Youth Council group at 2025 Tallahassee trip

Port St. Lucie's Youth Council was established in 2023 as a way for young people in the community to share their voices and be a part of the decision-making process. 

It also provides students in grades 9-12 with an opportunity to:

  • Learn about local government
  • Earn community service hours
  • Build leadership skills
  • Build public speaking and training opportunities
  • Provide their input and feedback to City leaders
