TO: Youth Council DATE: 10/17/2012 FROM: Youth Council Staff For Discussion For Action For Information SUBJECT: Youth Resource Directory Update PROPOSED MOTION(S): That the Youth Council shall

1. Determine how the Resource Directory will be updated – Building Healthy Communities Group, Ad-hoc Committee, or a blend of both

2. Update the Directory for the Fiscal Year 2013/2014 DISCUSSION: Ms. Claudia Corchado stated, during the August 2012 meeting, that she would contact Building Healthy Communities (BHC) asking for youth involvement to assist in updating the Youth Resource Directory. The Ad-hoc Committee to Update the Youth Directory is as follows: Mr. Robert Bittner, Ms. Claudia Corchado, and Ms. Mary Jane Hawkes. The committee is short two Youth Council members that resigned December 2011 due to other commitments and relocation. The Youth Council’s goal has been to update the online directory every year along with printing the directory every two years. In accordance with this goal, the online directory is updated each year; however, since Fiscal Year 2012/2013 is 25% complete, it is the recommendation of staff that the Resource Directory be updated for the Fiscal Year 2013/2014. Council members may provide additional information to staff regarding local agencies/organizations to be included in the directory.

TO: Youth Council DATE: 10/17/2012 FROM: Youth Council Staff For Discussion For Action For Information SUBJECT: Workforce Investment Activities and Opportunities PROPOSED MOTION(S): Discussion Only – Future Direction for Youth Activities DISCUSSION: Youth councils are appointed by the Local Workforce Investment Board, in cooperation with the Board of Supervisors, (1) to develop strategies and goals for the portions of the local plan relating to eligible youth; (2) to recommend eligible providers of youth activities; (3) to conduct oversight of eligible youth providers, and (4) to coordinate youth activities; subject to the approval of the Local Board. Also, Workforce Investment Act Directive (WIAD) 06-17 provided additional Youth Council activities to the required youth council duties:

- Leveraging other LWIA youth program funds for the purpose of improving the effectiveness of local youth programs through collaborative planning, funding, and service delivery.

- Making recommendations to the LWIB for connecting youth program activities, including those provided by local educational entities, to the One-Stop delivery system.

- Making recommendations to the LWIB for including training in nontraditional occupations for women and girls, and pre-apprenticeship training in youth program activities.

Throughout the year opportunities arise that the Youth Council may wish to pursue. To be competitive for these funding opportunities, it is important that the Youth Council become proactive in areas the Council determines most beneficial for the youth/community. The following examples include Youth Activities that may require Leveraging and prior consideration:

Youth Service America (YSA) and UnitedHealthcare provide youth-led service-learning projects in California that combat childhood obesity though walking, running, or hiking programs. UnitedHealth HEROES projects engage young people (ages 5-25) in performing meaningful services to the community as they gain knowledge about childhood obesity.

YouthBuild is an extremely competitive grant offered by the Department of Labor. It is a highly successful program that provides low-income youth (ages 16-24) an opportunity to earn their GED or high school diploma while learning job skills by building affordable housing or remodeling low-income homes in their communities. Emphasis is placed on leadership development and community service. Outcomes for the program include placement in college, jobs, or both.
