EPYC : El Paso Youth Council

The El Paso Youth Council (EPYC) is a youth advisory council comprised of about 25 high school students, formed to advise the Mayor and Council. EPYC is now in its second year, with Library “Teen Town” Staff serving as the liaison between EPYC and the Cityof El Paso. We held our first meeting with EPYC on Wednesday, October 15, at which time the Council developed a tentative schedule for the year which runs through May of 2009. EPYC’s goals are, in part, to become familiar with City government and develop a service project that assists youth in El Paso. To that end, they would like to visit a variety of City Departments. The Council typically meets on Wednesdays from about 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
