Snellville Youth Council presents student leadership and plans Capitol visit
Summary
The Snellville Youth Council introduced its 2025–26 student leadership team and reported events since September, including a candidate forum, mentoring sessions and community service. Student Mayor Day Kibbe said the council will visit the Georgia State Capitol on Feb. 12 to learn about state government.
Esther Dawah, Snellville’s youth director, introduced the Snellville Youth Council’s student leadership team at the Feb. 9 mayor and council meeting and summarized activities that began in September.
Dawah said the council inducted 21 members this year and launched mentoring sessions and seminars for leadership development. Student Mayor Day Kibbe outlined recent programming — a candidate forum that invited local council candidates, a seminar on digital branding led by advisors Rodney Lumpkins and Richard Roynell, a holiday mixer that included donations to a teen homeless shelter, and ongoing preparations for Juneteenth programming.
Kibbe said the student leadership team will visit the Georgia State Capitol on Thursday, Feb. 12, sponsored by Shaigoon Adeyena, to observe the legislative process and meet state leaders. Esther Dawah and student leaders asked the council for support and said they will return to report on the trip and what connections they established.
Dawah and Kibbe read the student leadership roster aloud, naming Day Kibbe as student mayor; Abdul Kolawole as student vice mayor (not present); Thomas Widna as outreach coordinator; Wabel Ayelay as historian; Serenity Shaw as initiative development lead; Jasmine Kitt and Amir Halele on social media and digital design. The mayor and council offered congratulations and encouragement.
