Yes, you must be a Cheverly resident to be on the Cheverly Youth Town Council.

The Cheverly Youth Town Council gives teens a voice in shaping youth programs and activities in our community. The council is made up of one representative from each of the six wards (grades 10–12) and one Youth Advisor (ages 18–22), all nominated by the Mayor and Council. Members attend monthly meetings, scheduled with students in mind, to share ideas, represent their peers, and work with the Town’s Youth Coordinator to help plan and support events. By serving, members play a key role in making Cheverly’s youth programs fun, welcoming, and tailored to the interests of young people.
