This session will deep dive into the status of teenagers, teen councils and their importance as they relate to municipal government. Throughout the session, the DeSoto (Texas) Teen Council (formerly the DeSoto Youth Advisory Council) will be used as a case study to define best practices and challenges faced. You will leave this session with helpful methods and motivation to pursue teen engagement.
