The Mayor’s Youth Commission is a platform for youth in Tacoma to engage their local government and be a part of the important decisions being made right now that will soon affect them. For the first six months of 2019, students from across Tacoma came together to discuss what changes they wanted to see in Tacoma and how they would achieve those changes. After months of conversations and learning, the students elected their inaugural 10-member leadership team in June of 2019 that would guide the full commission in its work. When the leadership team was sworn in, they were leading a Youth Commission of 70 Tacoma students.
