BPAPM Student Becomes one of the AMO Youth Fellows 2026
A healthy democracy relies on the active participation of young people. The decisions made today will shape the communities of tomorrow, making youth perspectives essential to strong, informed public policy. Early involvement in civic life also helps build lifelong habits of democratic engagement.
Encouraging youth participation in municipal government is a key priority of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), including supporting young people interested in municipal leadership and public service.
This commitment is reflected in the AMO Youth Fellowship Program, an experiential learning opportunity that selects three young people from across Ontario to engage directly with AMO’s work. Fellows gain hands-on exposure to municipal policy, work closely with AMO’s Board of Directors, and receive mentorship from an experienced board member.
We are very pleased to share that one of the PAPM students, Allan Buri, has been selected as an AMO Youth Fellow for 2026. We are thrilled for him and proud to see him take this exciting step in his journey in public service.
