Spilka (D- Ashland) recently concluded the final meeting of her 2016-2017 Youth Advisory Council, which convened for the first time in October. Students from across Senator Spilka’s MetroWest district were nominated by their high schools to travel to the State House to participate in three Youth Advisory Council meetings over the 2016-2017 academic year. “Our future depends on our civically engaged, inquisitive and thoughtful young people,” said Senator Spilka. “These Youth Advisory Council members made their voices heard on the issues they care about, while taking an active role in learning how their government works.” In three Youth Advisory Council meetings, students learned about the legislative and budget processes and discussed their interests in local, state and federal issues with Senator Spilka. As part of the Youth Advisory Council, students researched legislation, wrote essays summarizing issues and exploring alternate perspectives, and shared their concerns, ideas and priorities. In recognition of their civic engagement, Senator Spilka presented each student with official Massachusetts Senate citations. Every public high school in Senator Spilka’s district is invited to send two students in their junior or senior year to participate in the Youth Advisory Council each year. Students from Ashland High School, Framingham High School, Franklin High School, Holliston High School, Hopkinton High School, Medway High School, Natick High School and Tri-Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School participated in the Council.
