Advika Sadiasivan and Taylor Zhang

The Village School students Advika Sadiasivan and Taylor Zhang (pictured, from left) were chosen for Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner’s 2022-2023 Mayor’s Youth Council. Each year, members are chosen through an application and interview process. A selection committee reviews each application, and finalists are chosen for personal interviews. After an exhaustive search, Advika and Taylor were among the group of 22 high school students selected. The council is modeled after the elected City Council, with members representing 11 single-member districts and five at-large districts. Participants have the opportunity to learn about city government, share issues of concern with city officials, and learn leadership skills through community service activities.
