SUBJECT: YOUTH SUMMIT PROGRESS REPORT
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office/Special Projects
BACKGROUND
Staff is working with a volunteer committee of youth and adults representing a variety of
community organizations to plan a Youth Summit as a follow up to the Mayor's Conference
on Youth and Family held on November 9, 1995. This event is planned as a prelude to a
Mayor's Conference on Youth and Family 2 which is tentatively scheduled for October 1996.
The Youth Summit will involve youth from each High School and Junior High School campus
in the Santa Clarita Valley and representatives from each elementary school district's sixth
grade classes. The Summit will provide an opportunity for youth to focus discussion and
issues of importance to them. Training in leadership will also be incorporated in the days'
activities to encourage participation in the Mayor's Conference on Youth and Family 2 by
Youth Summit participants.
The Youth Summit is tentatively scheduled for either May 3 or 31 at College of the Canyons.
The Planning Committee's first meeting was held on March 13, 1996 and several additional
meetings will occur in March and April. Interested volunteers should contact Jeff Kolin at
286-4022.
RECOMMENDATION
Receive the information on the upcoming Youth Summit and direct staff to continue with the
planning, promotion and implementation of the Summit.
