The Yolo Youth Commission was established by the Board of Supervisors on May 10, 2022 as a two-year pilot program (Resolution No. 22-59). This two-year Youth Commission program is a partnership between the Yolo County Office of Education and Yolo County. The Youth Commission has three (3) residents per district ranging from 13 to 18 years of age, for a total of 15 youth commissioners. The youth reside in one of the five (5) Supervisorial Districts of Yolo County.  Commissioners are appointed for a one-year term and may be reappointed for one additional one-year term.

Applicants were nominated, referred, or self-applied to the Youth Commission and underwent a rigorous interview and selection process. The selected youth will be the second cohort to participate in the program. This cohort includes six (6) continuing commissioners and nine (9) new commissioners. Attachment A contains information about the recommenced youth, including biographic highlights. The Commission will be responsible for evaluating grant proposals for youth-led efforts and organizations in Yolo County and developing a grant funding plan for presentation to the Board for acceptance. 

Yolo County Office of Education Assistant Superintendent Equity and Support Services, Stan Mojsich, is leading the Yolo Youth Commission.
