The Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council (MYAC) was formed in 1998, the year of Mayor Nancolas’ election into office. From the very beginning, Mayor Nancolas was passionate about youth involvement in the community. As a result, he created a tradition in 1998, of visiting the two local high schools, Caldwell and Vallivue to teach a day of government to students. In his first experience teaching, he discovered that students felt disenfranchised from the local government and were uninformed about the City's future. The students expressed interest in community service and involvement in the decision making process of the local government. Mayor Nancolas determined that if the City of Caldwell wanted to strengthen the youth of the community, a program was needed to facilitate that type of activity. Based on Mayor Nancolas' initiative, the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council was created in 1998, and was official adopted by the Caldwell City as an official youth organization 1999.
The MYAC provides the youth of Caldwell an opportunity to voice their opinion and share a role in the decision making process. The Council started with just six members and has continued to grow to a present Council of over sixty members. The Council is comprised of student representatives from the two local high schools, Caldwell and Vallivue, and Thomas Jefferson Charter School.
Membership is through an application process. Applications are available in school counselor’s offices, Caldwell City Hall and on this website. The MYAC holds bi-monthly meetings in the Community Room at the Caldwell Police Station. Mayor Nancolas, an advisory staff, and council members attend meetings which are open to the public. Each meeting is vital and the group works jointly with the Mayor to address local issues and to brainstorm how to improve City conditions for youth today and for future generations
