The City of Mountain View is now accepting applications for the Youth Advisory Groups (YAG). The application deadline is 5 p.m., Friday.

To be eligible, you must attend middle or high school and be a resident of the city of Mountain View. The city is seeking a diverse group of students in terms of gender, academic standing, cultural and socioeconomic background and level of involvement in extracurricular activities to represent Mountain View’s teen community.

YAG offers opportunities for teens to hone their leadership and organizational skills while working cooperatively with local government and community officials on issues related to youth. Group members play an integral role in establishing and improving city programs, services and facilities for teens.

For more information and applications, contact Joanne Waszczak at 903-6618.
