The Estates Property Owners’ Association is starting a Student Ambassador Program to encourage high school students’ participation in the village’s government through attendance at POA meetings. The Estates POA is now accepting applications for Student Ambassador for the school year 2018-19 from students who are either in their junior and senior year of any public or private high school. This is an excellent opportunity for students to become involved in Garden City’s unique form of local government.
