'Throughout my time on the MYC, I've encountered an ample number of new and exciting opportunities for meeting with local and state officials and touring city department facilities as well as fostering relationships with other students in Sioux Falls who share similar passions to me,' Mayor's Youth Council Member Adeline Roths said. Mayor TenHaken started the Mayor's Youth Council in 2021. In addition to learning about local government and sharing input on community issues, the council also gives students a chance to give back.
