Youth Advisory Council Plans Social Media Outreach and Community Engagement Initiatives

During the recent meeting of the Lago Vista Youth Advisory Committee (YAC), members discussed strategies to enhance youth engagement and communication within the community. A key focus was the role of the social liaison, which is crucial for marketing the committee's initiatives and connecting with local youth.

One member highlighted their experience and familiarity with effective communication strategies, emphasizing the importance of reaching out to peers and gathering their opinions. This approach aims to ensure that the voices of Lago Vista's youth are heard and represented in community discussions.

The committee also reflected on the success of last year's capital trip, which was effectively marketed by the previous social liaison, Anna. Her efforts resulted in high attendance and engagement, setting a positive precedent for future events.

Looking ahead, the committee plans to leverage social media, particularly Instagram, as a primary platform for outreach. Members discussed innovative ideas, such as creating QR codes to be placed in school hallways. This would allow students to easily access surveys and provide feedback on community improvements. The goal is to foster a more interactive relationship between the youth and local government, ensuring that young residents feel involved and informed about city policies.

As the committee continues to develop its strategies, these discussions highlight a commitment to enhancing youth participation in Lago Vista, ultimately aiming to create a more inclusive and engaged community.
