Youth interviewing youth




Members of the Multnomah Youth Commission were on the square today to interview young people concerning voting issues. They asked each participant several questions and recorded their answers on video. The Multnomah Youth Commission is the official youth policy body for both Multnomah County and the City of Portland. They’re a group of young people (ages 13-21) that provides a voice for youth to city and county government. They work to change policy affecting young people, as well as the negative community perception about youth.
