Parkland's Community Advisory Board is actively seeking new participants for its Youth Ambassador Program, with applications now open for incoming eleventh graders. The deadline for submissions is May 30, 2025. This initiative aims to engage young residents in community service and leadership opportunities.

During the recent meeting, it was highlighted that the current class of youth ambassadors has just completed their educational sessions with the Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO). Participants will be recognized for their achievements, including scholarships and service hours, at the upcoming commission meeting next Wednesday.

The board encourages community members to spread the word about the program, emphasizing the importance of youth involvement in local governance and community initiatives. If there are not enough applications by the deadline, the board may consider extending it to ensure a robust selection of candidates.

Following the application period, a subcommittee will be formed to conduct interviews with potential ambassadors over the summer, with the new class set to begin in September. This marks the fourth iteration of the program, which has proven to be a valuable platform for youth engagement in Parkland. Community members are urged to stay tuned for further communications regarding interview schedules and participation opportunities.
