It's part of a new program that's reaching out to youth and trying to teach them about what happens inside city hall.
"Youth really don't feel like they have a chance to speak up," said Vanessa Saldana, another Mesa Verde High School junior.
"Local government can definitely be cool," said Marisa Brown, a spokesperson for the City of Citrus Heights.
