The Batesville Mayor’s Youth Council is an effort to civically engage our youngest citizens. MYC is a great opportunity to give youth a voice and a chance to identify and solve community issues from a youth perspective. At the same time, MYC members are resources for elected officials to receive advice on issues they face, especially those decisions that directly affect young people.
Mission
