The MYC works to change policy affecting young people, as well as negative community perception about youth. The MYC is the official youth policy body for both the City of Portland and Multnomah County. Read more about the MYC here.
We are looking for youth who truly represent the cross-section of demographics, identities, and experiences of all young people in our community. No special skills or experience required; just a passion for making our community a better place. Youth interested in policy, activism, or community organizing are encouraged to apply.
Applicants must be between the ages of 13-21 (as of August 1, 2021) and live, work, or go to school in Multnomah County. Applications and references can be completed online at www.ourcommission.org/apply and are due by Friday, April 16 at 5pm.
