41 Falls Church City High School students are currently serving on these City Boards, Commissions, and Civic Groups:  the Architectural Advisory Board, the Arts & Humanities Council, the Advisory Committee for Recreation & Parks, Bike Falls Church, the Electoral Board, the Falls Church Chamber of Commerce, the Historical Commission, the Housing Commission, the Human Services Advisory Committee, the Library Board of Trustees, the League of Women Voters, the Urban Forestry Commission, the Citizens Advisory Council on Transportation, the Environmental Sustainability Council, the Economic Development Authority, the Falls Church Education Foundation, the Village Preservation & Improvement Society, Creative Cauldron, Meridian PTSA, the Friends of Cherry Hill Foundation, the Social Justice Committee of Tinner Hill Heritage Foundation, and Welcoming Falls Church.
 

CBC is pleased to report the program is growing in popularity as more students apply every year – especially younger siblings of those currently serving.
 

CBC’s ultimate goal is to engender the spirit of community activism in our youth and through their interest and commitment inspire the participation of their parents.  It’s working!
