Brookfield teen seeks to restart Youth Commission

A Brookfield High School student has asked the Board of Selectmen to restart the Youth Commission.  At their meeting this week, Liam Enea told the Selectmen that there is interest among teens to get it started and he could likely find the adults needed to participate. 

 

According to the Brookfield Town Charter, five adults would need to be appointed to four-year terms.  The Youth Commission would also have five non-voting student members. 

 

Enea says the Youth Commission could promote various programs for teens to keep them away from drugs, while also encouraging them in civic engagement. 

 

The Youth Commission is still in the Charter even though interest in membership fell off in recent years, in part because other municipal groups are meeting the goals like planning youth activities.  First Selectman Steve Dunn said that unlike others who complain the younger generation is not getting involved, he finds the opposite to be true.
