Mooresville Youth Council outlines year of service, professional-development summit and community projects
Summary
The Mooresville Youth Council executive board reported on a year of service projects, a professional development summit with local partners, state conference participation, and the Legacy Project (little STEM libraries); Commissioners praised their civic engagement and mentoring staff.
The Mooresville Youth Council executive board presented its annual update to the Town Board. President Juliana Torres Fierro said the council is chartered by the state youth council and highlighted a professional development summit held March 15 at the Charles Mack Center that offered public‑speaking, resume help and interview skills to high‑school students; staff and local partners — including Toastmasters and Crosby Scholars — supported the event.
Vice President Manjumindal Muruganandam and other members described additional activities this year: three neighborhood-focused legacy and service projects (including restocking and maintaining little STEM libraries around town), attendance at state youth council conferences that supported a mini-grant award for their legacy project, and community events such as a blood drive and Mooresville Day participation. Members said about 12 volunteers helped run the summit and roughly 30 preregistered participants signed up for the career day.
Commissioners applauded the council's civic engagement and encouraged members to continue recruiting peers and using town relationships for program support. Staff mentors (Carla Nigle and others) and Commissioner Dana Tucker were thanked for their support. The council said the 'dog mayor' contest will announce its winner June 20 and encouraged continued participation in upcoming events.
