Denver is working to diversify its youth commission, a body that advises the city on issues affecting young residents. City officials say the current makeup does not reflect the city’s diverse population, and they plan to broaden outreach to include more voices from different neighborhoods and backgrounds.
The commission will play a larger role in shaping city policy, and officials say changes are needed to attract more youth participation. The effort is part of a broader push to make city governance more inclusive, according to a report by Denver7.
