Draper swears in 56 new youth council members
Summary
Mayor and staff swore in 56 new youth council members; mayor and council praised the group's volunteer contributions to city events and encouraged civic engagement.
Draper’s mayor and staff welcomed and swore in 56 new youth council members during the council meeting. The mayor said the city’s youth council—much larger than typical municipal youth programs—provides valuable volunteer support for city events including Draper Days and the Easter egg hunt.
The mayor praised the students, saying they do "valuable service for us" and noted the practical contribution the youth provide for large city events. Youth council leader Connor Vandegraaff (speaker 9) led the Pledge of Allegiance earlier in the meeting, and staff will continue youth programming and orientation for the new members.
Council and staff encouraged civic learning and participation and thanked parents for supporting the program.
