About Us

A Mayor’s Youth Council is a group of young people working toward the common purpose of developing their individual leadership skills to strengthen their communities through volunteer service and increased communication with municipal leaders. The Mayor's Youth Council provides high school-aged East Hampton residents the opportunity to perform community service projects through the simple act of cleaning our streets. Due to the recent growth of our population due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been a rise of trash found in our public roadways and beaches. This is an important effort to help clean the place we call home, by a new generation of leaders.
