The City of Menifee invites students entering their junior or senior year in the 2026-2027 school year to participate in its inaugural Menifee Leaders of Tomorrow program. Applications are now being accepted for the fall program, September 17 through November 12.
This free, eight-week youth leadership program offers students an opportunity to connect with local leaders, gain insights into city operations, and build valuable leadership and professional skills. From mentorship opportunities to engaging leadership workshops, this program empowers youth to explore careers in local government while discovering how they can make a lasting impact in their community.
Participants will also develop practical skills by writing staff reports, participating in mock city council meetings,
and engaging in thoughtful discussions.
“This unique civic program provides students with insights into city operations while involving them in real-world
scenarios and training,” City Manager Armando G. Villa said. “Through the Menifee Leaders of Tomorrow, we are giving our youth an opportunity to build confidence, develop leadership skills, and gain a better understanding of how they can play an active role in shaping our community.”
Menifee Leaders of Tomorrow is led by the City Clerk’s Department. Sessions will be held on Thursdays from 4 to 6 p.m. Participants must attend at least six of the eight sessions to graduate.
Enrollment is open to students who reside in Menifee or attend a high school in Menifee. Space is limited to the first 17 applicants. Registration closed on Friday, June 26.
