Tampa teens wanting to give back to their community and looking for a glimpse into the workings of City Hall are invited to apply for seats on the Class of 2025 Mayor’s Youth Corps.
The Mayor’s Youth Corps is comprised of students in grades 9, 10, and 11 who live in and/or attend a public or private high school within Tampa city limits. Applications are now being accepted for one-year terms. Applications are available on the City of Tampa Mayor’s Youth Corps webpage and will be accepted until October 23, 2024, at 5:00 p.m.
Members of the Youth Leadership Council will review the applications, conduct interviews, and make recommendations regarding acceptance into the program.
Mayor’s Youth Corps members learn about and engage with city government, meet with Mayor Castor, connect with their peers, conduct community service projects, participate in state and national conferences, and run social media platforms. The students learn valuable leadership and employability skills while serving in the program.
"This is a remarkable opportunity for our local high school students to not only learn about city government but to actively participate in transforming Tampa’s tomorrow,” said Mayor Jane Castor. “I encourage all interested students to apply and take advantage of this unique chance to develop leadership skills and make a meaningful impact in the community we call home.”
