Arlington Youth Council

Arlington Youth Council recently presented a project on the dangers of va**ng to a class of 7th grade students at Post Middle School. The project created an interactive simulation game to help teens understand the dangers of va**ng. Through this game, teens were able to see the outcomes of their decisions and learn more about the risks they face.

The youth council is structured to create an essential link among the city's teens, the community, and the city government. Do you know a youth in Arlington looking to make a difference? The Arlington Youth Council is now accepting applications for the upcoming year! Get involved and help shape the future of your community.
