The Greenfield Youth Council presented its 2025-26 year at the May 26 council meeting, outlining volunteer efforts, civic engagement projects and a pedestrian-patrol action project focused on distracted mobility awareness.
Jose Chavez Medina of the community engagement department described the council's work: a cohort of nine youth leaders who created five pedestrian-safety videos and partnered with local law enforcement and the Monterey County Public Health Department. Chavez said the youth council produced 53 videos that generated more than 205,000 combined views and that the pedestrian-patrol content alone received more than 60,000 views.
Youth commissioner Josiah Vara spoke for the group and thanked elected leaders and staff for support. Mayor Bob White and other council members presented certificates of recognition to individual members and program staff. The council also recognized the Greenfield High School Cadet Corps drill team for recent competition wins.
Next steps: the youth council will continue outreach and service projects, including a focus on pedestrian safety, internship opportunities and continued collaboration with city staff.
