ANALYSIS:
The Florida League of Cities invites youth councils to visit Tallahassee with Miami Beach elected officials during Legislative Action Days. The two-day program, usually in January, will tour Tallahassee and give youth an opportunity to learn more about municipal government at Florida's capital city. Youth will also tour the supreme court, governor's mansion, visit the Florida Capitol and more.
The purpose of the Miami Beach Youth Commission is to provide the youth of Miami Beach with a vehicle to learn about government, participate in the process of City government, represent and articulate the needs of youth in the City, and provide recommendations to the Mayor and City Commissioners on issues and programs affecting the youth and teen population in the City.
There are currently approximately 11,000 youth under the age of 18 residing in the City of Miami Beach.
