Yuma’s Youth Government Program and ADA Awareness Campaign

City of Yuma Launches Youth Government Program

The City of Yuma is introducing its inaugural Youth Government Program, a free six-week summer initiative aimed at high school juniors and seniors. This program is designed to provide students with insights into local government operations, foster leadership skills, and encourage civic engagement. The program will commence in the summer of 2026, offering participants a unique opportunity to actively contribute to their community.

‘Access for All’ Campaign Promotes ADA Awareness

In a parallel effort, the City of Yuma has initiated the ‘Access for All’ campaign, a community-wide outreach program focused on educating residents, businesses, and visitors about the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This campaign underscores the city’s commitment to accessibility, inclusion, and equity, aiming to ensure that all community members have equal access to public spaces and services.

Community Engagement and Upcoming Events

Both initiatives reflect the city’s dedication to fostering a more inclusive and engaged community. Residents are encouraged to participate in these programs and stay informed about upcoming events and opportunities to get involved.
