Miramar Youth Advisory Council

Decent Essays
The reasons why I wish to serve in the Miramar Youth Advisory Council is because I want to be more involved in my community, I am also very interested in learning more about the municipal government but most importantly I want to gain real world experiences. I feel that by being a part of the Miramar Youth Advisory Council I would be more involved in my community. I think it’s very important for me to be a part of my community because I always hear people talking about how Miramar needs changes and improvements. But I don’t see them helping to improve our way of living in our community. That’s why I want to be more involved in my community because I want to see changes and improvements because I really like the city of Miramar and I want others

    The relationship between local law enforcement and the youth population has been a troublesome issue in modern day policing. In 2014, after a death of a young boy Tamir Rice in a police shooting, it struck the idea to understand the issue within the city of Cleveland police department and their relationship with the young men and women to identify the key aspects as to why law enforcement typically have communication barriers to the children. A stigma that may be thought of certain parents not wanting their child to speak to police officers because they are not their role models and have the authority to get them in trouble for any reason that seems necessary. Some others may think that police officers are very corrupted that they do not follow the values of their mission to keep them safe. Youth…

Throughout my time at Camp Jewell I have experienced what this amazing community can do for you.

    In January, when I first started my internship at the Mansfield Youth Services Bureau, I was unsure of whether or not it was the type of placement I was in search of.

The bureau’s two initiatives that allow for direct involvement with youth, Big Friends and COPE, had already been filled at the beginning of the school year. However, Pat was so intrigued by my e-mail of inquiry that she did not wish to lose me as an intern.…
