Shape Novi’s Future!
Attend the Mayor's Youth Forum!

Hey Novi high schoolers (grades 9-12)!
Ready to make your voice heard and genuinely impact your community?

The Mayor's Youth Forum is your platform to share ideas, discuss what matters to Novi's youth, and help shape the city's future initiatives.

What is the Mayor's Youth Forum?

It's an exciting, open opportunity for all high-school-aged residents of Novi to connect directly with City leadership.
There's no application or appointment needed - just show up and jump into the conversation!.
Attendance is voluntary, making it accessible for everyone interested.

What You'll Do
Share Your Perspective:
Talk directly with the Mayor (or their designee) and City staff about current community topics and initiatives.
Discuss Key Issues:
Dive into discussions on issues relevant to you and the Novi community.
Propose Topics:
You can propose topics for future forums or give feedback after each meeting.
Be the Guide:
Your feedback will help guide youth-focused initiatives and community engagement efforts in Novi.
Get Recognition:
If you attend all sessions during the school year, you'll receive a special acknowledgement letter or certificate from the Mayor!
How it Works

We'll meet approximately three times throughout the school year (typically October, January, and April), for about 60 to 90 minutes each session. Meetings are usually held at the Novi Civic Center or another accessible location.

Topics are fresh and relevant, identified by City Council, City departments, community partners, and even youth participants themselves. The agenda will be posted in advance on the City's website and promoted through schools and social media, so you'll know what's coming up.

Ready to get involved?

Come share your ideas constructively, listen actively, and engage respectfully with City leaders and your peers.
