Welcome to the Sahuarita Teen Advisory Council (STAC)!

The STAC program began in 2007 at the request of the Mayor at that time. The program is assigned to the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department (PRCS), which provides staff mentors/advisors, oversight, facilitation, and budget. STAC is comprised of up to 25 teen members from the Sahuarita area. Its mission and purpose is to provide teens in Sahuarita with the opportunity to learn from their experiences through the program's four main components:

Leadership Development

Activities & Events

By Teens, For Teens

Community Service

& Volunteerism

Town of Sahuarita

Government & Operations

STAC meetings are held every other week on Tuesdays and are open to any teens who wish to participate. Along with putting on its own free teen-centric events throughout the year, STAC participates in Town events by volunteering and leading projects and activities. Teen volunteers are welcome and encouraged to join the group!

Applications for STAC membership are available now.
