Sacramento Youth Commission

The Sacramento City Youth Commission was established by the Sacramento City Council to serve as an advisory group to provide recommendations on youth related issues in Sacramento. The Commission provides youth an opportunity to participate in the policy making process and provides a forum for the exchange of ideas, needs and concerns related to youth. The Youth Commission meets bi-weekly, from 6-8pm. Commissioners are between the ages of 14-19 and reside or attend school in the city of Sacramento.

The Sacramento City Council established the Sacramento Youth Commission, in order to advise them on youth-related policies. Since then, we have addressed many issues that concern Sacramento's youth: alcohol and drug awareness, graffiti, skateboard parks and more. We have also established an annual Scholarship Award and a Coat and Blanket Drive.
