The Council is now accepting applications for the Youth Council. Apply here by the end of January.

The City of Framingham is now accepting applications to fill all 13 seats on the Framingham Youth Council. The application portal is open, and eligible Framingham youth are encouraged to apply by January 31, 2026, at 11:59 p.m.

The Framingham Youth Council was established by unanimous vote of the City Council in 2019 to ensure young residents have a voice in City government. The Council was created following an ordinance authored by then-17-year-old Framingham resident Isabella Petroni, who served as the Council’s first Chair, until she resigned when she was elected a Library Trustee.

The Youth Council is comprised of 13 individuals – one from each of Framingham’s nine districts nominated by the district City Councilors, two individuals nominated by the At-Large Councilors, and two individuals appointed by the Mayor.

District Youth Councilors serve one-year terms ending June 30, 2027.
At-Large Councilors and Mayor’s appointees serve two-year terms ending June 30, 2028.
Members may continue to serve until re-nominated or replaced.
Applicants must be between the ages of 13 and 22, reside in Framingham, and be registered voters if eligible.

The Youth Council evaluates issues facing youth, advises elected officials, advocates for young residents, promotes civic participation, and provides policy recommendations on matters affecting youth. Specific responsibilities include:

Evaluating and reviewing issues facing youth in the City.
Representing youth in Framingham and advising elected officials and policymakers on matters of interest or concern to young people.
Providing information to and advocating before public entities including the Mayor, municipal government, state and federal government, police, school districts, and higher education institutions in support of young people.
Providing a structure for all young people in Framingham to learn the value of civic participation and encouraging lifelong participatory residents.
Offering policy recommendations on issues affecting and of interest to young people.
Engaging with young people in Framingham to inform them of opportunities and listening to their suggestions regarding how the community can better serve its residents.
Conducting an annual joint meeting with the Superintendent in January of each year.
Applicants should demonstrate a desire to serve as a Youth Council member, participate in Framingham’s government processes, and provide unique perspectives, leadership, and input on matters that shape and influence the future of Framingham.



The Youth Council meets at least monthly in accordance with the Open Meeting Law, elects its leadership annually, works with City Council and School Committee liaisons, and operates five standing subcommittees.

​FRAMINGHAM - The City of Framingham is seeking qualified residents to apply to fill a four-year term on the Board of Cemetery Trustees. The vacancy will be posted by the City Clerk in accordance with the Framingham Home Rule Charter.

The vacancy follows the resignation of Steven Schneider, who was elected to a four-year term as a Cemetery Trustee on November 4, 2025, but declined to be sworn into office and vacated the seat prior to assuming the role due to a conflict of interest.

Under the Framingham Home Rule Charter, the Board of Cemetery Trustees is responsible for the care, management, and control of the City’s cemeteries, including oversight of cemetery operations, maintenance, and related policies, subject to applicable laws and regulations. Trustees serve the public interest by ensuring municipal cemeteries are properly maintained and respectfully administered.

The only qualifications to serve as a Cemetery Trustee is residency in the City of Framingham and a registered voter in the City of Framingham.

Pursuant to Article IV, Section 4 of the Home Rule Charter, the City Clerk will post the vacancy notice on the municipal bulletin board for a period of no fewer than twenty-one (21) days and no more than thirty (30) days.

Applications must be submitted no later than 11:59 p.m. on January 30, 2026 to the City Clerk who will then forward the applications to the remaining Board of Cemetery Trustees and the City Council for consideration on January 30, 2026.

To apply fill out this form by the deadline - https://framinghamma.gov/FormCenter/Citys-Clerk-Forms-41/Framingham-Cemtery-Trustees-Application--195

A joint meeting of the City Council and the Board of Cemetery Trustees will be held within forty-five (45) days following receipt of the applications, on or before Monday, March 16, 2026. This joint meeting may be scheduled during a regularly scheduled City Council meeting or as a special meeting called for this purpose.

A candidate elected by a majority of the combined membership of the City Council and the Board of Cemetery Trustees will be sworn into office and will serve the remainder of the unexpired term.
