Lake Norman Teen Council
The Council has been established to provide
North Mecklenburg teens in high school and middle school an opportunity to develop a foundation for volunteer opportunities, social interaction, programming, teamwork, and leadership skills. Teens will serve the community and create programming for their peers.
Who makes up Teen Council? – High School and Middle School teens who live in North Mecklenburg. The Council is comprised of teens that express an interest in actively
developing opportunities for all teens in the community.
Who Governs the Teen Council? – A service club for 6th - 10th graders. Each month spend a Saturday having fun in the community by volunteering. There is an Executive Board comprised of teens elected by their peers in the council. The board office positions are limited to high school students with an exception of three middle school positions for Program Committee members. Advisors to the council are three adult parks and recreation staff members from Davidson, Cornelius, and Huntersville.
What type of events and activities can we expect? – The teen council will determine events with approval from the Advisory Board. Some suggested activities are an ice skating trip to Center City, mystery dinner theatre, and volunteer outreach projects with local non-profit organizations.
What is a parent’s role? – A parent's role is to support teen participation in council activities, and provide transportation to various activity locations. In order to develop independence in our teens, parents should neither plan to attend meetings nor plan to chaperone events. The Parks and
Recreation Departments will handle these responsibilities. However, parent inquiries are always welcome.
Will adult supervision be provided for all teen activities & events? – Parks and recreation staff members will provide
an adult ratio of 1:15 teens at all activities and events.
Are there costs or fees, and how does a teen sign up for an event or activity? How do I register? – At this time there are
no membership fees. Event and trip activities may incur a fee depending on the activity. You may register for an activity or become a member of the teen council at Davidson Parks and Recreation, www.drecs.org or 704-892-3349. All town websites will have updated information.
