Overview

The Simi Valley Youth Council is a group of young people who advise the City Council on issues that matter to youth in the community. The council has 21 members and up to three alternates.

Each middle and high school in Simi Valley has a student representative or two on the Youth Council. There are also members who represent the community at large, so different youth voices are heard.
