Youth Commission members are:

  • Maggie Brown, Tate High School junior
  • Mallory Bell, Escambia High School sophomore
  • Amelia Myers, Pensacola HS IB sophomore
  • Trinity Kyles, Pensacola High School sophomore
  • Claire Jimenez, Pensacola Catholic High School junior

Sponsored by the Escambia County Board of Commissioners, the Escambia County Youth Commission is a leadership and service-oriented program that empowers young people to become knowledgeable and involved in the local governmental process.
