Little Elm Youth Council

Overview

The Little Elm Youth Council serves as a liaison between the Town Council and the youth of the community on the issues affecting youth. The committee learns how their local government operates, hosts guest speakers on topics effecting the youth of our community, organizes community service projects each semester and gives reports to the City Council each year. The Little Elm Youth Council is a great opportunity to learn about the community and local government, to serve the community through volunteering and meet new friends.
