2026 Youth Council

The Midvale Youth City Council is a civic engagement program designed to connect youth with local government, community service, and civic involvement. Through hands-on experiences, participants gain a deeper understanding of how local government works while developing leadership, communication, and teamwork skills.

Youth Council members have the opportunity to:

• Learn how local government, policies, and legislation work
• Explore Midvale City departments, including public safety and city services
• Participate in meaningful community service projects
• Contribute ideas and perspectives on issues impacting youth and the community
• Meet with local and state leaders
• Be recognized by the Midvale City Council
• Build friendships and connections with other engaged students

Through these experiences, students develop an understanding of the importance of community involvement and gain the skills needed to become informed and engaged members of their community.

Meeting Schedule

Youth City Council meetings are typically held every second and fourth Tuesday from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
