History
|
The San José Youth Commission was founded by Robert
Stroughter in 1969 and was later established
by the San Jose City Council in January of
1971 in response to petitions by the youth
in the area. These petitions called for the
development of a system where young people
can become involved in the decision making
process of the city.
The Youth Commission is the official youth advisory group of the
City Council and the department of Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood
Services. In addition, the Commission educates the community on youth
issues and helps to develop new programs and services to satisfy
the needs of the youth. |
