Parks and Recreation Commission Youth Rep

Are you a local high school student who is involved in activities, sports, or student government in school or at church? Would you like to know more about local events and activities? Are you interested in helping to bridge the gap between student government and local government? Then you might want to look into applying to be a Youth Representative on the Reedley Parks and Recreation Commission. The Commission adopted the Youth Rep position to improve communication between local young people and the Commission in order to better serve the youth of our community with facilities and sports/enrichment activities. The Youth Reps attend all regular Commission meetings and volunteer at 3-4 Reedley Community Services Department events. If interested, call Sarah Reid at 637-4203. The 2012-13 Youth Reps are: Alejandra Ramos and Rica Coria of Reedley High School.
