A youth engagement initiative geared towards middle and high school students kicks off soon.

Students attending the City of Coral Springs Commission Connection Program learn about municipal government, leadership, and community service through conversations and Q&A sessions with city commissioners.

The program begins Thursday, April 8, 2021, at 5 p.m. with an overview of the city and will elaborate on present-day operations and strategic goals for the future. Each class includes a 15-minute meet and greet with a member of the Coral Springs City Commission, where students have the opportunity to interact and ask questions.

“We are excited to bring back our Commission Connection program, albeit virtually, for Coral Springs students,” said Mayor Scott Brooke, who added that engaging our youth in government is instrumental for their future.

Students who apply must have parent or guardian approval and commit to participation in the entire one-hour program via Zoom. The program is limited to 20 students per session.
