Final Thoughts
Getting to sit in the city council chamber or meet with the mayor isn’t something you get to do very often. Since it’s a valuable chance to learn what goes on behind the scenes in city government, it could be a perfect opportunity for kids who hope to become future leaders. If your child seems interested, why not have them take part?😄
