Civic Link

Serving and engaging teens in civic life requires meeting them right where they are: on their phones. CivicLink is a mobile-first platform designed to support the Perry Youth Advisory Council (PYAC) and the general teen population of Perry, Georgia. Serving as a central hub for Youth Council updates and teen-focused resources, it offers engaging digital features that make civic engagement simple and exciting. CivicLink bridges the gap between local government and the next generation by helping Youth Advisory Council members participate meaningfully during their term and by empowering the broader teen community to share their voices and shape the future of Perry.

CivicLink is designed to serve PYAC, the broader teen population, and the City of Perry Georgia Government. City of Perry leadership has recognized that stronger communication and engagement with the youth demographic are essential for the City’s future development. By keeping PYAC members and local teens connected and engaged, CivicLink meets the City’s goal of increasing youth participation in government initiatives while ensuring the platform is appealing enough to encourage regular, long-term use.

CivicLink applies emerging technology through the development of a mobile-first website designed with advanced UX/UI principles. Its features include interactive discussion boards, direct access to City leaders, comprehensive City calendars, and a secure login for PYAC members to receive time-sensitive, council-specific information, and exclusive resources. These features provide a modern, functional platform that meets the PYAC and Perry’s youth where they are and encourages them to play an active role in shaping the future of the City of Perry.
