The City of Toronto has decided to roll out an interesting proposal — rather than spend money on youth-related projects without any perspective, they’ve decided to create a youth panel to make recommendations on programs that might engage kids in high-risk neighbourhoods.  Anyone ages 14-24 can apply to be on the panel by submitting their ideas for youth-related initiatives via this application form.

If you have a son or daughter in the alloted age range it’s a great opportunity for them to learn about city government first hand while giving something back to the community.  Applications for the program, entitled “Identify ‘n’ Impact Investment Fund,” are being accepted until March 14th.  More information ca be found on the official site.
