The Be Heard Youth Town Hall invites Des Moines high school students to participate in a forum to discuss concerns they have about education and their community during a panel that will include Des Moines Mayor Frank Cownie and members of city council, school board, Polk County supervisors and residents. Student concerns will be noted and developed into a plan to improve schools and the community — with a goal toward creating a better city for all.
The Be Heard Youth Town Hall will be held from 6 p.m.-7:30 p.m. Feb. 23, at Des Moines Central Library, 1000 Grand Ave. Greater Opportunities, a nonprofit group, and the city of Des Moines are co-hosting the event.
