If you’re a young person living
in Seattle, consider joining other Seattle youth in managing over $700,000 this
year through participatory budgeting. PBP is working alongside the City of
Seattle to launch a citywide youth PB process over the next 8 months.
Seattle Participatory Budgeting
is recruiting young people and youth-serving orgs to be steering committee
members and oversee the process. Representatives from the Seattle Youth
Commission and the City of Neighborhood Council will join youth leaders and resource
organizations in Seattle to write the rules of the process in mid-December with
assembly meetings beginning in January. Youth led PB is a great opportunity to
create a strong platform for inclusive governance that speaks to all ages!
