A big welcome goes out to the 2023-24 Harrisburg Youth Council, who held their first meeting on September 26, 2023, in Town Hall. The mission of Youth Council is to increase and promote civic engagement while empowering the youth in Harrisburg. This year the students will be working on a capstone project to address a Town of Harrisburg / community-related issue or need. We can’t wait to see what the Youth Council can achieve this year!
