The newly formed 2021 Hastings Youth Council will submit on council projects and for the second year have a seat at council subcommittee tables.
Made up of 19 members from ages 15 to 23, the youth council is responsible for creating opportunities for young people to participate, be heard and be involved in community activities and council decisions.
2021 chairman Karamu High School student Keelan Hesterman believes the real opportunity for the youth council to make a difference is in making submissions on council projects, sitting at subcommittee tables and advocating for young people.
