The Milton Youth Task Force (MYTF) is open to all youth 13 to 18 years of age in the Town of Milton.
Who we are
The Milton Youth Task Force (formerly the Milton Youth Advisory Committee) is a group of young people who are ready to take action to make Milton the best place to live. We represent the diversity and vibrancy of Milton’s youth.
Join
All Milton youth between 13 and 18 are welcome to join.
- Intake is over for the current Milton Youth Task force.
- Applications will open again in the fall for the 2021-2022 school year.
Meetings
The Milton Youth Task Force consists of two groups: The Core Team and the Ambassador Team. The Core Team meets for two hours every other week and the Ambassador Team meets once a month for two hours.
What we do
MYTF members have a desire to impact our community and become informed, connected and empowered community leaders. The purpose of MYTF is:
- To get more youth involved with their community
- To give feedback from a youth perspective to government and community organizations
- To advocate for the needs of youth
- To support youth community leaders
Core Team responsibilities |
The Core Team leads the Task Force strategy and does the majority of the organization for all of the projects. This is a team of 15 (maximum) youth who work closely together, receive leadership and skills training and are highly committed to the team. |
Ambassador Team responsibilities |
The Ambassador Team is responsible for ensuring that the larger community is engaged in the Milton Youth Task Force activities, the voice of youth is represented around Milton and members are involved in all outreach and feedback projects. |
