T

he Florida League of Cities (FLC) is pleased to announce the winners of the 2022 Youth Council Community Service Contest. This contest invites municipal youth councils to submit projects that address a local need.

CAPE CORAL YOUTH COUNCIL

Members of the Cape Coral Youth Council recognized the increasing need to serve their community. They decided to challenge residents of the City of Cape Coral to perform acts of service within their City. The objectives of the challenge were action, awareness and advocating. Action entailed the Youth Council members participating in local cleanups. To spread awareness, Youth Council members attended local events to spread a message of community involvement and service. Advocating was accomplished by hosting a joint meeting with the Cape Coral City Council so that the Youth Council members could voice their ideas and concerns. 48 QUALITY CITIES | THIRD QUARTER 2022
