Sandy installs 56-member Youth Council and launches new mentor program
Summary
Sandy City installed its 2026–27 Youth Council with 56 members, the largest cohort since reactivation five years ago; officials also added a mentor program to retain past members as leaders. The ceremony included oaths and brief remarks from city staff and the council chair.
Chris Edwards, with the Sandy City council office, announced the installation of the 2026–27 Sandy Youth Council and introduced a new mentor program at a ceremonial council meeting.
"With 56 members, this is the largest group we have had since we reactivated the youth council 5 years ago," Edwards said, and introduced mentors Areya Orem and Rachel Lowe, who will assist in program facilitation and leadership development. The council chair, Marcy Hausman, welcomed family members and thanked staff and volunteers for organizing the event.
The installation proceeded with staff calling the members forward and Judge Thomas Farr administering the oath, which charged members to "represent and serve Sandy City to the best of [their] ability" and to abide by the youth council code of ethics. After the swearing, members returned to seats and the council offered congratulations to the new cohort.
The announcement emphasized continuity and program expansion: Edwards said the mentor program will keep recent graduates involved for an additional year to support program activities and year-round events. The meeting was ceremonial and did not include legislative business or policy votes related to the youth council.
