The Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) launched a new community outreach program, the MCTS Transit Teen Advisory Board, that is open to Milwaukee County residents ages 14 to 18.
This initiative empowers teenage residents to advocate for MCTS through fun and interactive sessions designed to develop their leadership skills. Teens will learn and share information about how public transportation affects them, their peers and their families.
Applications to join are now being accepted through Sept. 30. The term begins in October 2022 and runs through June 2023. The board will meet twice a month after school at the MCTS Administration Building.
MCTS is seeking up to 22 community-minded teens. Each member will represent one of Milwaukee County’s supervisory districts. Members will receive a monthly $40 stipend and bus fare.
Who is eligible:
- Must live in Milwaukee County.
- Be between the ages of 14 and 18.
Those interested can apply and find more information on MCTS’ website. MCTS will select one teen resident per county supervisory district. The deadline to apply is Sept. 30.
