The Natchitoches City Council recognized members of the third cohort of the Mayor’s Youth Council, which includes students from all high schools throughout the Parish, led by Tiffany Williams. The students are able to collaborate in ways they wouldn’t have otherwise, learn about civic engagement, and learn about Natchitoches and its history.
Natchitoches native, LSMSA senior and returning Youth Council member Diamond Smith said they’ve created goals of getting a student member on the Natchitoches Parish School Board and engaging in community outreach for Earth Day. Looking forward to becoming more involved in the community, the council brainstormed ideas and put them into action planning events and educating the community.
“These past two years have been very exciting for me,” said Diamond. “I’m so extremely grateful that I got to experience the opportunity to give back to my community which shaped me into the person I am today.”
