LA City Youth Council

📣 Your schools, your neighborhood, your voice matters.

The City of Los Angeles wants to hear from young people about how youth should be included in the LAUSD Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC) process.

📝 Take the IRC Youth Input Survey and share what meaningful youth participation should look like.

Open to everyone, with a focus on ages 16–26. The survey is anonymous and voluntary, and no redistricting experience is needed. Your perspective is enough.

Yesterday, we had the privilege of joining at their College Signing Day event, celebrating students from across Los Angeles as they continue their academic journeys at colleges and universities nationwide.

This event recognized the hard work, perseverance, and bright futures of our city’s graduating students. Their achievements continue to inspire us and reinforce our commitment to supporting youth across Los Angeles.

In addition to celebrating their success, several lucky attendees received scholarship funding to support them on their educational journeys. A reminder that registration for the Youth Expo, Youth Council applications, Earn Learn Play, and other resources can be found through the link in our bio.
