Montevallo Junior City Council
The mission of the Montevallo Junior City Council is to improve youth civic engagement and quality of life. Montevallo Junior City Council (MJCC) members consist of local middle and high school students enrolled in the local schools or living in the Montevallo area. These youth have completed numerous projects such as: establishing a local teen center, raising funds to purchase baseball helmets for youth in the community, and sponsoring holiday events for youth. Montevallo youth are encouraged to attend public meetings held by the MJCC to express their interests and ideas. University of Montevallo students in Professor DeAnna Smith’s Social Entrepreneurship & Sustainability class are serving as advisors to the MJCC in establishing their first color run, offering advice and support while volunteering alongside the MJCC at Love Montevallo Day.

The Arc of Shelby County and its national office advocate for specific policies and programs that benefit people with developmental and intellectual disabilities and their families. The Arc serves over 1,000 individuals and families in Shelby County through community-based programs including early intervention, community living and employment services.
