Reason for Recommended Action/Background
On May 10, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved the establishment of the Yolo Youth Commission as a 2-year pilot program (Resolution No. 22-59). With the creation of the Yolo Youth Commission, the Board also approved a Grant Funding Agreement awarding the Yolo County Office of Education $400,000 from County-generated cannabis tax revenues to administer the Youth Commission (Agreement No. 22-78).
The Commission initiated the Year 2 request for proposals (RFP) to fund youth initiatives and program development with grants offering a total of $160,000. The Commission designed and facilitated an RFP process that featured robust community engagement. Five areas of need among Yolo County youth were identified: Education, Mental and Behavioral Health, College and Career Readiness, Life Skills and Recreational Activities, and Civic Engagement and Community Organizing. The Year 2 RFP attracted 22 applicants from organizations across the County. The Youth Commission selected four programs that it identified as meeting all RFP criteria and values of the Youth Commission. Four programs were awarded $40,000 each. The Board approved the awards recommended by the Youth Commission on November 5, 2024.
One of the awarded organizations is United Way-California Capital Region for KinderCamp expansion to the Clarksburg community. At this time, United Way is requesting to modify the proposed scope to move the site of the KinderCamp program expansion. The request comes after determining that Clarksburg would not be a feasible site. The Clarksburg school site administration shared with United Way that they are currently prioritizing and focusing resources on their existing Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP), and therefore opted not to move forward with additional programming at this time. To ensure effective use of grant funding in Yolo County, United Way proposes to reallocate the YEA! grant funding to serve 40 students in Washington USD (West Sacramento) and 40 students in Woodland JUSD. Attachment A provides the letter from United Way-California Capital Region and the proposed updated scope.

Further explanation as needed:
Funding of $400,000 for the 2-year Yolo Youth Commission pilot program was reviewed by the Cannabis Business Tax Citizen's Oversight Committee at the Committee's August 27, 2021 meeting, and was approved by the Board as part of the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Adopted Budget on September 28, 2021. Pursuant to the County's cannabis tax ordinance, revenue generated from the tax can be used for items such as criminal enforcement of illegal cultivation, early childhood intervention and prevention, youth development, substance abuse education and treatment for children and adults, rural infrastructure and programs and cannabis research, but can be spent for unrestricted general revenue purposes per the Board's discretion. The proposed actions fall under the "youth development" category of the ordinance provisions. The proposed grant awards totaling $160,000 is consistent with the approved budget of up to $160,000 per year as set forth in the May 10, 2022 approvals establishing the Yolo Youth Commission.
