ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 10, 2026—The Montgomery County Council will host a Youth Town Hall meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 29 at 6 p.m. at the Council Office Building in Rockville. This annual meeting with students promotes youth engagement in community and public policy issues and allows Councilmembers to hear directly from young people about their concerns and views.
“Youth voices and perspectives are an important part of the conversation about our shared future,” said Council President Natali Fani-González. “This town hall creates a space for young people to share their ideas about issues affecting their lives and communities, particularly because decisions made today about climate change, housing, the economy, and technology, for instance, directly define the world young generations will inherit.”

The Council will also host a pizza reception for students who attend the Youth Town Hall starting at 5:30 p.m. at the Council Office Building.
Students who are unable to join the meeting in person can participate through a Zoom webinar. The Zoom information will be provided to students who register for remote participation.
