Youth appathon empowers students to support local charities
The recent meeting of the technology committee highlighted two significant initiatives aimed at engaging youth and supporting local nonprofits. The committee announced its third annual appathon, scheduled for November 8th and 9th, which invites K-12 students to develop applications that can assist nonprofits and charities. Organizations interested in having an app created to manage goods, services, or payments are encouraged to reach out to the supervisor's office for participation.

Additionally, the Youth Advisory Council held its inaugural meeting, where officers were elected. Although specific results were not disclosed, plans are in place for a swearing-in ceremony on October 22nd. This event will also include training for council members to familiarize them with the open meetings act and parliamentary procedures, ensuring they can effectively contribute to future board meetings.

These initiatives reflect a commitment to fostering youth involvement in community service and governance, providing students with practical experience while supporting local charitable organizations.
