<br />2018 Annual Report • Administration • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />37 <br /> <br />ENGAGING YOUTH IN GOVERNMENT <br />We are fortunate to have a strong relationship with our <br />School District to tap into our local youth. Below are <br />some of the ways we are engaging youth in our local <br />government. <br />In 2018 we hosted our third round of Students in <br />Government. New this year the city is participating in <br />the School District’s Youth in Leadership program to <br />appoint a Student Liaison to our Parks and Planning <br />Commissions. This program brings youth into the leadership structure of various programs in <br />the community, city and schools. The non-voting Student Liaisons will develop leadership <br />skills and gain valuable life experience while contributing their perspective during the decision- <br />making process. Both students appointed to the Parks and Planning Commissions attended <br />their first meetings in September! <br />In September, city staff partnered with our local CHANGE (Children Have a No Guns <br />Expectation) organization to hold Voter Registration Day at the high school to assist eligible <br />students and staff register to vote. <br />
