The Town of Northborough's Youth Commission is actively seeking new members to enhance its board, following a recent surge of interest from the community. During a meeting held on May 13, 2025, members discussed the recruitment process and the need to fill vacancies to ensure a fully operational board.

Currently, the commission has received several inquiries and applications, with one confirmed application from a 15-year-old interested in joining. The commission is particularly focused on attracting high school students, including rising freshmen, to engage youth in local governance. Efforts to reach out to local schools, including Melican and Algonquin, have been initiated, with plans to expand outreach to other institutions such as Saint John's.

The commission noted that after two or three missed meetings, members may be removed from the board, allowing for new recruitment. This policy aims to maintain an active and engaged membership. The commission is hopeful to achieve a full roster of seven members, emphasizing the importance of youth representation in community decision-making.

As the recruitment process continues, the commission encourages community members to spread the word and support interested candidates in completing their applications online. The Youth Commission remains committed to fostering a vibrant and inclusive environment for Northborough's youth, ensuring their voices are heard in local matters.
