The City of Rockwall is now accepting applications for the 2026-2027 Youth Advisory Council (YAC), a unique opportunity for high school students to get directly involved in their community. YAC empowers students to participate in municipal government, gain hands-on experience with City departments, and lead youth-focused initiatives throughout the year.
Eligibility and Application Process
Eligible applicants must be entering grades 9-12 and should preferably live within the city limits of Rockwall. YAC members attend standard, monthly meetings throughout the school year, typically on the first Thursday at 6:00 p.m., and may also have one additional event scheduled during certain months.
To apply, students must submit an online application with at least one letter of recommendation at https://www.rockwall.com/citysec_yac.asp by Friday, August 28. Short interviews will take place after school hours on Tuesday, September 1 at City Hall.
