Township names 2025—26 Youth Leadership Council and accepts student donation of first-aid kits
Summary
Montgomery Township committee adopted Resolution 25-9-299 appointing members to the 2025-26 Youth Leadership Council and accepted a donation of 45 first-aid kits from YLC member Varsha Sandakumar to be distributed at food banks and community centers.
The Montgomery Township Committee adopted Resolution 25-9-299 appointing the 2025—26 Montgomery Township Youth Leadership Council (YLC). The resolution lists appointed students (Arif Agarwal, Anya Ahmed, Angelina Bush, Ishan Chatterjee, Diya Gopan and others) and was adopted by motion and roll-call vote. Mayor Nina Singh welcomed the new YLC members, described the committee's liaison role to adult volunteer boards and encouraged students to take their responsibilities seriously.
During the same meeting the committee adopted Resolution 25-9-302 accepting a donation of 45 first-aid kits valued at approximately $180 from YLC member Varsha Sandakumar. Varsha told the committee the project involved months of fundraising and thanked supporters including Carrie Anne and Devangi; the kits will be made available at local food banks and community centers. The mayor and committee members commended Varsha for her community spirit and invited a presentation at the dais.
Why it matters: The YLC provides structured youth engagement with township boards and outreach channels; the student-led donation demonstrates youth-led civic participation with direct benefit to local health and emergency preparedness efforts.
Next steps: Staff will share a copy of the resolution with Varsha and the YLC; the health department and partner organizations will coordinate distribution of the first-aid kits.
