Diverse Youth Taking the Initiative and Acting as a Positive Voice in Our Community

---

The Kirkland Youth Council is a group of about 40 teens representing all the Junior and Senior High Schools in Kirkland. In addition, we also have members who attend private schools and who are home schooled. Each member of the Youth Council has the responsibility of representing their school, social and cultural group, the City, as well as the youth of Kirkland to the City Council and other local government groups.

The Mission of the Kirkland Youth Council is:

To Provide a vital link between the youth of Kirkland, the greater community, and the government. This alliance will help to promote mutual respect, ensure that the voice of youth is heard, and create and encourage opportunities for youth to give back to the community.
