Sacramento Youth CommissionSacramento 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.

Contact cdemoss@cityofsacramento.org about the Commission.
