Youth Advisory Commission – “The Voice of Today’s Youth”


Mission Statement:

To lead the youth of our community through volunteerism, service, and activities that are directed toward effective change.

The Youth Advisory Commission operates administratively under the Kerman Community Services Department. Their role is to advise the Parks and Recreation Department and the Youth Center staff on activities, events, and programs that will address the needs of Kerman’s students. They assist staff with the operation of the Youth Center, plan their program year, participate in community service projects, and participate in writing and redefining their by-laws.
