City to host town halls to discuss supporting youths in San Diego

May 17, 2023 | San Diego Community College District

The public is invited to join a series of nine virtual town hall meetings to discuss how the City of San Diego can help create an environment where young people can thrive in their education and their community. 

The City of San Diego’s Child and Youth Master Plan is the intentional roadmap that creates a shared vision of services, programs, and resources that will support equitable cross-generational solutions for sustainable goals that uplift the voices of children, youth and families in San Diego.

The Child and Youth Master Plan (CYMP) will build off community conversations led by intentional steering committees shaped with cross-sector leaders that are delineated into tactical age groups and represented by a broad range of organizations, institutions, and individuals that possess various years of experience in contributing, supporting and leading in their sector. It is with these steering committees and co-creating with youth organizations and age-specific ecosystems that make up the specific plan areas within the CYMP.

Who Should Attend?
The voices of youth and young adults are very important to this plan. Parents, caregivers, and those who support youth are also encouraged to attend a town hall. Everyone has an interest in the success and wellbeing of our youth!

Why Should You Attend?
Your input is important to us! We need to hear your experiences about what it’s like to grow up in San Diego, and your ideas how it could be better. What makes our city special and a fun place to grow up? What makes it difficult to live here? How can we make it better?

Specific topics will include the following:

  • Child Care and Camp Access
  • Financial & Workforce Opportunities
  • Youth Empowerment
  • Engaging Activities
