2023 – 2024 Youth Commissioners
It’s a privilege to collaborate with some of the most brilliant young minds in our community to address youth-related issues and make a positive impact on those in need. At Gonzaga Prep, I serve as the captain of the debate team, a member of the food drive committee, and as a cross-country runner. I am also involved in service & justice programs such as the Margins Immersion and the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice. I am excited to serve as Chair of the CYC where we strive to make our community a better place, especially for youth.
I am thrilled to be part of the CYC this year. Gaining involvement in my community has always been a continuous goal for me and I’m excited to identify youth issues and find correlating solutions. At Mead I am a member of dance, gymnastics and track teams as well as National Honor Society, and serve as outreach coordinator for my class council. I can’t wait for a year of hard work with other students dedicated to our community!
As a young leader within our community, I believe that accurate and empathetic representation from our youth is key to building our future. Throughout the past few years, my involvement in various activities such as debate, creative writing and leadership on a school and citywide level have shaped my perspective as a person and a representative, and I hope to continue learning and growing on the Commission.
This is my first year on the Commission and I am looking forward to working with this inspiring group of leaders and represent youth in our community. I have an interest in suicide prevention and am honored to serve as co-chair of our mental health committee. In my spare time I enjoy playing soccer, skiing and fishing. I am grateful for this opportunity to make an impact on our community.
To see youth get the opportunity to be actively involved in their communities is exactly what our future needs. I am thrilled to be given this opportunity to help foster youth voices in and around my community. Being a part of the type of change the Commission is capable of is truly one of a kind. I am my school’s FBLA chapter vice president, class of 2026 president, and Legislative Youth Advisory Council second year member. I am also on the soccer and track team and get involved in any way I can within the student body.
This is my second year on the Commission and I look forward to developing plans and solutions to address issues affecting Spokane’s youth. At LCHS I have worked with different service organizations like Key Club and Environmental Club and have also been part of the yearbook staff for three years.
I am so excited to serve as a Commissioner. Advocating for prevalent youth issues in my community is an honor and something I am incredibly passionate about. At Mead I serve as NHS Treasurer, Class Senator, Link Crew Leader and Mead Serves member. I also participate in cross country and tennis. I’m looking forward to the great year ahead and being part of this special organization!
I am a team captain for Medical Lake HS cross country team and am excited to be part of this wonderful group of teens who are dedicated to helping Spokane County youth.
As a first year Commissioner I am very excited to be more active within my community, bring new ideas and explore new opportunities to help youth throughout our city. My involvement in sports and especially clubs like DECA, key club and NHS have kept me busy and given me perspective on how I can help improve my community. I can’t wait to get to know my peers and get to work helping those around me!
I am a creative artist, change-maker, two time TEDx speaker, a cultural dancer, a henna artist, and Miss Teen IndiaSpokane/WA1RU from Spokane. I create art to inspire youth to embrace diversity, inclusion and their culture simultaneously. As a young activist I encourage empathy above all. I truly believe Mahathma Gandhi’s quote “be the change you want to see in the world” and strive to do just that. I hope you will all join me to make this change happen.
