On Monday, December 20 at 11:00 a.m. in the City Hall Rotunda, a representative from the State Farm Insurance Agency will give the Mayor’s Youth Council a check for $2,500. This money will help the members of the Mayor’s Youth Council visit one of Little Rock’s Sister Cities to learn more about other cultures and how they can develop new ideas to improve their community.

Students in the Little Rock Mayor’s Youth Council participate in various monthly volunteer and community service projects throughout the city. In 2010, approximately 150 students have volunteered at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, the Arkansas Arts Center, Wildwood Park for the Arts, Our House Shelter and many other volunteer activities.
