Mission The Youth Commission is a body of 17 youth from San Francisco between the ages of 12 and 23. Created by the voters under a 1995 amendment to the City Charter, the commission is responsible for advising the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor on policies and laws related to young people. The Youth Commission is also charged with providing comment and recommendation on all proposed laws that would primarily affect youth before the Board takes final action.  You can read more about the Youth Commission here.

What's New?

• Our 2019 - 2020 Youth Commissioners were sworn in by Board President Yee on September 4th, 2019 at 5pm in the Board Chambers in room 250. Thank you all for witnessing and supporting our youth!

• Special shout out to our outgoing Youth Development Specialist Naomi Fierro who is leaving to be the Director of Student Inclusion at Lick Wilmerding High School in San Francisco. She has done tremendous work building young people’s power with a radical and bold curriculum and from those seeds may we all grow in strength to make this a world for us all. We are sad to see her go but excited for her next chapter. For more information about joining the Youth Commission team, please check out the job description here.
