Youth Commission

Mission

The Rochester-Olmsted County Youth Commission's mission is to provide inter-generational civic engagement and leadership opportunities for young people in Olmsted County.

The Rochester-Olmsted Youth Commission has been a successful partnership between Olmsted County and the City of Rochester for over 25 years that represents a cross-section of high school age youth and adults who work with local government, businesses, and non-profit organizations to give young people in Olmsted County a voice. Our presence sends a clear message that youth in our community are valued.

The Commission meets the first Wednesday of every month (September through May) from 4:45 p.m. – 6:15 p.m. in the cafeteria on the lower level of the Government Center (151 SE 4th Street SE, Rochester MN).
