Youth Board
The Burbank Youth Board offers high school and middle school students a great opportunity to learn about and actively participate in local government. Members have the opportunity to represent the interests of local youth in community affairs and encourage peers to actively participate in community affairs and matters of concern to the City.
The Youth Board comprises representatives from Burbank public and private middle schools and high schools as well as at-large members. School representatives must be nominated by school staff while at-large positions are chosen through an interview process.
All Youth Board members are appointed by City Council. Members must serve one full school year (October 2021-May 2022) and attend monthly meetings held the first Wednesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
