school students from 26 Orange<br />
County public high schools, including<br />
Dr. Phillips, Ocoee, Olympia<br />
and West Orange, participated in<br />
this year’s event.<br />
Throughout the morning, students<br />
attended a series of workshops,<br />
ranging from zoning and code enforcement<br />
to the electoral process.<br />
The workshops provided an opportunity<br />
for students to strengthen<br />
their leadership skills, learn how<br />
government functions, and learn<br />
how to participate in community initiatives.<br />
They also joined in a Youth<br />
Issues Forum, an open discussion<br />
about important topics, led and<br />
moderated by Mayor Jacobs. The<br />
top issues included regional infrastructure,<br />
social services and public<br />
safety. Following the forum, Mayor<br />
Jacobs was presented an award by<br />
Orange County’s Neighborhood<br />
Preservation & Revitalization Office.<br />
She was recognized for her leadership<br />
and for creating the conference<br />
initiative.<br />
