Prior to the start of each school year, the City seeks to appoint nine student members (four high
school representatives and five high school at-large representatives) to the Huntington Beach Youth
Board. All Board Members serve a one-year term, from June through May of the following year. This
year, five representatives graduated from high school, thereby creating five vacancies and four
current representatives who remain in school are seeking reappointment in 2021-2022. Staff has
duly recruited for interested applicants at each of the local high schools and received several
applications.
After interviewing the potential candidates, Council Liaisons Kim Carr and Natalie Moser selected the
following five new Members: Colin Parrott, Huntington Beach High School; Sarah Rizvi, Ocean View
High School, Adam Vo, Edison High School; Acacia Bartel, Marina High School; and Faith Nguyen,
Edison High School.
Council Liaisons Kim Carr and Natalie Moser also recommended the reappointment of the following
students to an additional term: Emma Weston, Edison High School; Kanady Osborne, Marina High
School; Luke Blankenbaker, Huntington Beach High School; and Vivian Bui, Huntington Beach High
School. All were instrumental in fundraising and event coordination for the 2021 Youth in
Government Day event, which was eventually canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This board meets on the second Monday of each month in the fifth floor conference room at 3:30
