The Walnut City Council tonight recognized outgoing members of the Youth Commission.
The teens honored each served a two-year term, tackling issues like bullying and leading a Goodwill donation effort among other accomplishments.
All five council members thanked them for their service.
"These young people are making a difference in the community," Mayor Tom King said, "and that's what makes Walnut great."
Each student received a certificate and a city pin.
Mayor Pro Tem Antonio "Tony" Cartagena said he hopes the youth can apply what they learned on the commission to their future endeavors.
"This experience can really serve as an educational tool to face challenges at whatever university or college that you will go to," Cartagena said.
