The Snellville Youth Commission is hosting a Youth Summit noon to 5 p.m. March 17 at City Hall, 2342 Oak Road.
“The purpose of the event is to reach out to local high school-aged students to discuss a topic of concern,” said Snellville Youth Commission Director Christopher O’Donoghue. “The summit will consist of multiple student-led sessions discussing and tackling the ways that they, as high school-aged students and young adults, can positively impact their communities.”
The event is free to all area high school-aged students. There will be snacks, games and a VISA gift card giveaway.
“The hope is to help these students understand they can affect change and be leaders in their communities and they don’t have to remain voiceless,” O’Donoghue said.
The mission of the Snellville Youth Commission is to promote education in governmental affairs, engage the youth of the Snellville area in civic activities and build practical and effective leadership skills.
