Mountain Home City Youth Council

What is the Mountain Home City Youth Council?

The Mountain Home City Youth Council (MHCYC) is a group of teens (ages 12-18) who meet monthly with the purpose to advise the Mountain Home City Council on matters that affect the city’s youth, provide the City a youth perspective on issues that affect Mountain Home, and to provide youth with an active role to make a difference in their community.

What are the benefits of being a City Youth Council member?

Aside from having your voice heard and your ideas taken seriously by the Mountain Home City Council and the Public library, all time spent in meetings or assisting with programs/events can be counted for volunteer/service learning hours as may be required by your school. Participation in MHCYC is a great way to meet teens from outside your school and take part in your community. MHCYC membership is something you will want to include on college applications and resumes.
As a member, you will be expected to:
  • Reside within the limits of Elmore County no less than six (6) months before becoming a member and shall remain a resident throughout your term.
  • Be no younger than twelve (12) years of age and no older than eighteen (18) years of age. 
  • Be reachable by phone or email.
  • NOT miss more than three (3) consecutive meetings of the MHCYC or more than 25% of all MHCYC meetings without prior notification to the MHCYC President or Champion.
  • Be enrolled/attending school and have completed the 6th grade.
  • Uphold the expected traits of the MHCYC: approachable, accountable, nonexploitative, sustainable, inclusive, and adaptive.
  • Abide by all MHCYC, Mountain Home City Council, and Mountain Home Public Library bylaws, rules, and regulations and positively represent the city of Mountain Home at all times.
  • Make every effort to arrive for meetings and programs on time and notify the President or Champion in advance, if unable to do so.
  • Follow through with your commitments. If for some reason you are no longer able to keep a commitment, you will be expected to notify the President or Champion as early as possible so your position can be covered.

Membership in the MHCYC will not be restricted by race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, size, or economic status.

Membership in the MHCYC is a privilege, not a right.

Questions may be directed to the MHCYC by email at cityyouthcouncil@mountain-home.us or to the MHCYC Champion, Jessica Mann at jmann@mountain-home.us or (208)-587-4716.

Meeting Schedule:

Meetings will be held in the public meeting room of the Mountain Home Public Library. Regular meetings will be held on the first and third Fridays at 3:30 p.m. from September through April. Summer meetings will be held on the first Friday at 3:30 p.m. from May through August. In the event a meeting date falls on a federal holiday, it will be canceled.
