The Mission Viejo Student Advisory Committee raised more than $400 from cookies the committee baked and sold on Valentine’s Day.
The student fundraiser will help committee members buy craft supplies and materials for upcoming committee service projects.
The 25-member Student Advisory Committee was formed to act as a liaison between youth and City government. The committee, which meets the first Sunday of the month, gives students from Mission Viejo high schools the opportunity to participate in the development, implementation and evaluation of services for their peers. Committee members plan events and programs to engage youth in town.
Committee members plan to assist the City with upcoming events including Bunny Days, Artes de la Vida, Spring Fling Night out for parents, Special Olympics and Relay for Life.
The committee meets from 5 to 6:30 p.m. March 1 in the Saddleback Room at City Hall, 200 Civic Center.
