The Parks and Recreation Department is celebrating February as "Youth Leadership Month" by offering the Youth in Government Program again for the 35th consecutive year to local high school students. Youth Government Day began in 1981 under the leadership of Mayor Roberta Teglia and then high school government teacher Gene Mullin. The program was designed as a hands-on learning experience for high school seniors, where they shadow a city staff or elected counterpart and participate in a mock city council meeting.
