Carmel High students brief council on volunteer club, internships and mock-council program
Summary
Students from Carmel High School reported on a new Carmel Youth Aid Club that connects high school volunteers with district events, a Chamber of Commerce summer internship program and a mock city council exercise planned for April 23.
Students from Carmel High School gave an update to the Carmel-by-the-Sea City Council on April 1, highlighting a new student volunteer club, a summer internship program and school‑city collaborations.
Ruby Iran Manesh, a Carmel High sophomore, described the Carmel Youth Aid Club she founded to connect high school students with volunteering opportunities across the Carmel Unified School District. Manesh said the club helps students earn the 60 community service hours required for graduation and provides flexible sign‑up options for events and after‑school activities. “Older students are able to be a mentor and a leader to these younger kids,” she told the council.
Juliet Norman, Carmel High ASB president, highlighted collaborations between the school district and community partners. She explained that the Carmel Chamber of Commerce has a summer internship program placing students with local businesses and nonprofits; the city also opened volunteer opportunities for students to help research affordable housing initiatives. Norman noted the Sunset Center hosts district musical performances and said students will participate in a mock city council meeting at City Hall on April 23 to learn about local government roles.
Council members thanked the students and encouraged continued partnership. The update was delivered during the council’s “extraordinary business” segment and did not require formal council action.
